Carol Children Carol

This 'feel good' Christmas carol is wonderful for singing in the classroom, at charity fundraisers (particularly the 2nd verse) and concerts.

If you are in a school where you are unable to sing about Christmas, suggested alternative lyrics are included in the PDF download.

This song is also great for:

  • Preparing and practising the rhythmic element 'tim-ka'.
  • Teaching the melodic element 'low ti'.
  • Preparing and practising ternary form.
