Measuring, Counting, and Constructed Responses using the song ‘Santa’s On His Way’

This fun-filled story song ignites thoughts and mental images of Christmas Eve with all the excitement that accompanies that tradition. Adding CHOREOGRAPHY is a stellar way to help students learn the LYRICS and sing along on the CHORUS.

Extended learning could include instigating conversations about Christmas traditions and Christmas memories. Discuss decorating for the holiday. A list of questions to propel conversation is included.

Arts and craft ideas are included for things like different ways to make a wreath, stringing popcorn chains, even decorating a classroom tree.

Turn music into math by connecting the song lyrics, Mom’s been really busy making lots of treats, into a measuring-ingredients activity. Make no-bake cookies, measuring ingredients, stirring for a prescribed number of minutes, counting a dozen or two dozen cookies, or anything else you can think of.

The use of CONSTRUCTED RESPONSES can be worked into this lesson in reply to questions asked in the song: How does Santa know to bring the perfect gift? or What if he gets stuck in a big snowdrift?

Workbook Exercises:

  • ‘Santa’s On His Way’ Coloring Page – This is a drawing showing two kids in their pajamas looking out the window and excitedly pointing to Santa and his sleigh flying in front of a big full moon.

  • Let’s Decorate a Christmas Tree – Using a drawing of the outline of a Christmas tree, students read and follow the directions to color, draw, and decorate their very own Christmas tree.
