My kids absolutely love "Snow Day" (from Music K-8, Vol. 6, No. 2). What we do is act out what we are singing - you know, "listening to the radio" we turn the radio dial, etc. The best part is the electric guitar part - I have one student act this out with a plastic blow-up guitar, then follow that with a real live snowball fight... OKAY, about as alive as we can be in Arkansas. We use styrofoam balls that I bought at the craft store. THEY LOVE IT! We have to set ground rules: no hitting above the shoulders - PRETTY harmless...
