Best Ever Christmas Songs

Before you pick your class song for the Christmas concert decide on what the song can teach the students. Instead of opting for the more traditional songs such as Frosty the Snowman or the Twelve Days of Christmas, chose a song that will start a discussion.

If students are studying Medieval times, chose a Medieval Christmas song. Teach students a familiar song such as Silent Night but sing it in all of the different languages your students speak. If there are too many languages incorporate the different languages into the original song. Christmas in the Trenches is a song written by a soldier in the World War, many children can not relate but it is a testimony of love between all.

Also, you can sing Cowboys for Christmas and change the lyrics to correspond with a different lifestyles. Or you may wish to see Do They Know Its Christmas and do a unit on Africa and on their struggles. Lastly, have primary students sing The Friendly Beasts to learn about the birth of Jesus and who was a part of the story. Be creative in your song list and teach a social or educational concept at the same time.
