I wish I was a Snowman

It's cold here today and we're excited about seeing some snow later today and this evening!
So, in honor of snow, I thought I would share this song about a snowman.

This song is really about decorating/dressing a snowman. I use it a lot in classrooms when they are talking about Winter, snowmen, snow, etc.. This also helps the students review parts of the face, clothes, appropriate body parts for each piece of clothing,etc..

I wrote this song to the tune of the Oscar Mayer Weiner song. Have a listen below!



I wish I was a Snowman

Oh I wish I was a snowman, that is what I'd really to be.
For if I were a snowman, two eyes on my face you'd see.

Oh I wish I was a snowman, that is what I'd really like to be.
For if I were a snowman, a nose on my face you'd see.

Oh I wish I was a snowman, that is what I'd really like to be.
For if I were a snowman, a mouth on my face you'd see.

Oh I wish I was a snowman, that is what I'd really like to be.
For if I were a snowman, a hat on my head you'd see.

Oh I wish I was a snowman, that is what I'd really like to be.
For if I were a snowman, a scarf around my neck you'd see.

Oh I wish I was a snowman, that is what I'd really like to be.
For if I were a snowman, mittens for my hands you'd see.

Oh I wish I was a snowman, that is what I'd really like to be.
For if I were a snowman, I'd like for you to play with me!


I found a really neat visual for this song already made online. I printed out the picture, colored the clothing items and then laminated all the pieces and attached velcro to all. I made this into a file folder activity (for my convenience as well). The snowman goes on one inside portion of the folder, and the clothing items all go on the opposite inside folder.

I also went one step further for my classes that are infused with technology and SMART boards,etc. and designed a snowman decorating template on power point. The student just drag the items to the appropriate places on the snowman. They really enjoy taking turns doing this!
