 Children wear knit gloves with bells sewn onto each finger for this activity.
 

Sung to the tune of Frere Jacques :

   Where is one finger?
   Where is one finger?
   Here I am, Here I am (child shows one finger)
   Ding-a-ling a linga,
   Ding-a-ling a linga
   Hear me ring, Hear me ring.

Oh Christmas Tree

 Before we sing this song, a child turns out the classroom lights and lights up our bulletin board tree using a single switch with remote access.  See Toys and Materials page.
