nativity concert songs.

We have begun to practice for our Nativity Concert.  Here are a selection of some of the songs we will be singing. It would be great if you could practice with the children at home.  We use Makaton sign language in the setting to support the children's communication and language development.  See if your child can remember any of the signs that we use when singing these songs.  

Ring Those Bells (Sung to the tune of Now We've Made a Pattern)
Ring those bells and wave your arms
Ring those bells and wave your arms
Ring those bells and wave your arms
Christmas time is here

Ring those bells and wiggle your fingers
Ring those bells and wiggle your fingers
Ring those bells and wiggle your fingers
Christmas time is here

Ring those bells shout Merry Christmas
Ring those bells shout Merry Christmas
Ring those bells shout Merry Christmas
Christmas time is here

The Lights on the Tree (sung to the tune of The Wheels on the Bus).
The lights on the tree go blink blink blink,
blink blink blink, blink blink blink
The lights on the tree go blink blink blink,
All Christmas day.

The presents on the tree go rattle rattle rattle,
rattle rattle rattle, rattle rattle rattle,
The presents on the tree go rattle rattle rattle
All Christmas day

The pudding after dinner goes yum yum yum,
yum yum yum, yum yum yum,
The pudding after dinner goes yum yum yum,
All Christmas day

The children with the presents say play with me,
Play with me, play with me
The children with the presents say play with me,
All Christmas day


Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the clouds so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are.

Special special special me
How I wonder what I’ll be
In this world I can be anything I want to be
Special special special me
How I wonder what I’ll be


Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head,
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
The little lord Jesus asleep in the hay

We Wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
