For the opening song "Our Fav'rite Time Of Year!," from The Elves' Impersonator, I had children do a routine with ribbon wands, to which I had attached Christmas tree icicles. The wands had red and green ribbon. The song's tempo and overall feel worked very well for a ribbon routine. It was gorgeous under the lights! For the "Arm In Arm" song (from The Elves' Impersonator), I taught the entire 4th grade the sign language. Santa and Mrs. Claus sang the song as a duet and everyone else signed it. It was very touching.
