Five Little Snowmen Song Math Activities January 13 2015


Singing the song. Using the flannelboard, chalkboard, Velcro® board or the floor, introduce this activity by placing the snowmen and numerals on the board. Without counting aloud, ask the children to estimate how many snowmen they think there are. Count them aloud with the students and then choose a child to find the correct corresponding numeral. Place the numeral on the board under the corresponding snowman. As you sing the song, remove each snowman as the song instructs. At the end add the four snowmen to the one left standing so that, once again, there are five snowmen.

Matching snowmen. Copy and cut out several snowmen that match the five you put all the board in the previous activity. Pass out one snowman to each child. Place one of the five snowmen up on the board. Ask the children to see if they have a matching snowman. If they have a match, invite them to place it next to yours.  Remove these and put up a different snowman. Repeat the activity so that each child has had a chance to match one of the five.



Place all the hats in a pile in the middle of the room. When the music plays, the children parade around the room. When the music stops each child puts on a hat. Look around the room and see if each child has a hat. If there is still a hat on the ground, the children find who does not have one and make sure he/she gets one. Before the music starts again, the children toss the hats into the center. The next time the music stops they each need to pick out a hat that they have not worn before.
