French colleagues HELP!!
 
to all my french colleagues!
 
we are planning an all around christmas parade at school (yes, in september!)
 
i have to find a french-christmasy song for 4 years old kids to dance/sing.
i tried you tube, but i think you can help me better, :S
i have to think about the costumes and the coreography, but first i need some hints on the music, since it is for toddlers, it would be great if you know a nice version to dance!
 
Merci � tous!

Hello,
 
I am not Frechn, but French Canadian, I hope I can help you with something.
 
What kind of song are you looking for? If I may, I would suggest Vive le vent, the French version of Jingle Bell. The rhythm is not so fast, plus, it is kind of repetive (for the chorus I mean), so it is good for young learners.
 
I remember singing the song for a Chritmas party we held at school a loooooooong time ago, when I was in first grade. We were dressed up as snow flakes: all dressed in white and we did some snow flakes out of paper (you can easily find how to do them on the net) and pasted them on our shirts. As for the dance, I am afraid I cannot help you, I do not remember it at all. You might find great stuff on Youtube.
 
Hope it helps. Good luck.

as far as costumes are concerned: you�ll need a santa, and children waiting for santa to come. quite easy!
have a nice day!
