Snow, snow, snow! We’ve certainly had our share this winter. Your little French learners will love the TPR in this song about la neige. A colleague taught me a version of this song decades ago. Over the years, I changed a few of the words and made up a new melody with notes I could actually hit! Here are the lyrics and suggestions for accompanying gestures:
Tombez, tombez, tombez, neige blanche (stand w/fingers “snowing” down from the sky)
Tournez, tournez, tournez gentiment (turn around)
Neige sur les toits (hold arms in a triangle like a roof)
Neige sur les branches (hold arms out like branches)
Tombez, tombez, tombez, neige blanche. (fingers “snow” down from sky again as children slowly sit down)

Enjoy la neige!
