Here's a song to enjoy singing together. It lends itself well to pantomime.
First we mime shaking out a sheet, then sway as we sing and sign "snow". The sign for snow is made by holding the hands out high in front of you, palms down, and wiggling the fingers up and down and the hands back and forth as you bring them down, like snow flurries drifting and dancing down from the sky. It's just like the sign for rain, but more animated. You can figure out how to mime fluffing pillows and shaking blankets, just like you do it at home. For the This way and that-a-way's we sign snow while turning and sashaying around. It's pretty fun.
Dame Holda shakes her bed like this -
and the snow comes down,
and the snow comes down.
She fluffs up her pillows,
she shakes out her blankets,
and the snow comes down,
and the snow comes down.
It goes this way and that a-way
It goes this way and that a-way
It goes this way and that a-way
All through the town.
