Easy Holiday Singalong Song with Audience

by | Aug 13, 2024 | Theme Concerts

Holiday Singalong – Choosing songs for maximum participation of youngest to oldest

Looking for that emotional connection with your audience and students? Consider a singalong! When looking for an easy multi-generational song to end your holiday program, here’s a few things to consider.

  • Repetition! The more repetition of the lyrics, the more participation – especially from your youngest singers and your audience! (I’m thinking of those 2 year olds and 80+)
  • Well Known Songs – We love what we know – Like an old friend coming back!
  • Easy Range An octave or less
  • Has a refrain or chorus Something to sing after the children sing their rehearsed line or verse 

Here’s some lyrics from the easiest choices

 

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine!
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine!
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine,
Let it shine!

FELIZ NAVIDAD (Sing-A-Long Lyrics)

Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad.
Prospero ano y Felicidad.

(Repeat)

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas (3 times)
From the bottom of my heart.

Repeat first section

IT’S A SMALL WORLD/Jingle Bells

Children:

It’s a world of laughter, A world of tears
It’s a world of hopes, And a world of fears
There’s so much that we share
That it’s time we’re aware
It’s a small world after all.

Children and Audience

It’s a small world after all (3 times)
It’s a small, small world

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun, it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh HEY!
(Repeat Jingle bells)

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We Wish You a Merry Christmas
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
And a happy new year!

Deck the Halls

Kids: Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Audience and Kids: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la  (Kids add silly movement)

(continue same form below)
‘Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
