Santa with a baby elf
Ever had the kids running around singing B.I.N.G.O.? Or used it as a good song to entertain around a campfire or on a long drive?
Now you can change it up a bit in December by teaching the kids S.A.N.T.A.!
S.A.N.T.A
Red hat, White beard
Twinkle in his eye
and Santa is his name-o
S.A.N.T.A.
S.A.N.T.A.
S.A.N.T.A
And Santa is his name-o.
To make it more fun, delete a letter each time you sing the verse – adding a clap or action instead of the letter. This makes the song last longer (Sorry!) and develops concentration and memory skills (yes, even annoying repetitive songs can be educational and beneficial!)
I like to make it trickier and more Christmas by replacing each letter with HO, so it looks like…
S.A.N.T.A. (HO version)
Red hat, White beard
Twinkle in his eye
and Santa is his name-o
S.A.N.T.A.
S.A.N.T.A.

And Santa is his name-o.
