A few years ago a very genki group of teachers including Margit and Roy got together to come up with the idea of a simpler version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Β Β And finally I’ve got a finished version for you! π
It’s on Facebook right now and also the new Vol. 14 and in the Teacher’s Set.
You sing the song just like the Animals Picture Book,
- Split the kids into 11 groups.
- Each group gets one day to sing.
- Everyone sings “Five Gold Rings” because you know it’s the most awesome line π
Like with the Β Animal soundsΒ Β it is pretty awesome!
Here are the Lyrics:
12 Candy Canes
11 Christmas Turkeys
10 Christmas Candles
9 Christmas Puddings
8 Christmas Stockings
7 Christmas Snowmen
6 Christmas Angels
5 Gold Rings
4 Christmas Presents
3 Christmas Cards
2 Christmas Trees
And a cute little Baby Monkey!
All the vocab is in the previous Β Genki English Christmas songsΒ so it makes this really easy to do.
You can findΒ Candy Cane, Snowman, Tree, Card, Present & Stocking in the Genki Christmas song.
Angels, Candles, & Turkey are in the operaticΒ Let’s decorate the tree song,Β and of course Baby Monkey is everywhere! π
VIP mini cards

And I just made up some ….
A4 Flashcards for you:

Picture Book
And here is the Picture Book as a reward for when you are finished!

And there is also the Baby Monkey’s Christmas Presents Easy No Maths Mix Β version too!
Enjoy!
Be genki,
Richard
Hi Richard, thank you for putting this up! I will use it right away! I have a group of 9 year olds learning how many are there? there are 5 bla blas…so today we will firstly revise the how many are there? question using these flash cards, and then learn this song. I will also combine it with Where are the Chrsitmas presents, there are 5 Christmas presents under the tree… I will try to make up some worksheets to go with it…
