Hi there! Are you ready to go on a fun adventure with a song? Let’s learn about a special ride in the snow!
Imagine riding in a sleigh. A sleigh is like a special kind of car that slides on the snow. It is pulled by a horse. The horse is strong and helps us go fast!
As we ride, we hear bells going “jingle, jingle.” These are jingle bells, and they make a happy sound. They make us feel excited and ready to sing!
We dash through the snow, which means we go quickly. We laugh and sing a song together. It feels so nice to be outside with friends.
One day, we decided to take a ride. My friend, Miss Fanny Bright, came along. But guess what? The horse got a little stuck in the snow! We all laughed and had fun, even when things got a bit silly.
Now, let’s sing the song again:
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
Isn’t it fun to imagine riding in the snow with jingle bells? Next time you hear the song, you can remember this fun adventure!
Make Your Own Jingle Bells: Gather some small bells and string. Help the children create their own jingle bell bracelets or necklaces. Once everyone has their jingle bells, encourage them to shake them while singing “Jingle Bells.” Ask them to notice how the sound changes when they shake the bells softly versus loudly. Discuss how the sound of jingle bells can make us feel happy and excited.
Sleigh Ride Imagination Game: Set up an area in the classroom or outside as a pretend sleigh. Use chairs or a large cardboard box as the sleigh and let the children take turns being the horse and the riders. Encourage them to make the sounds of the horse trotting and the bells jingling. Ask them to describe what they see, hear, and feel during their imaginary sleigh ride.
Snow Adventure Story Time: Gather the children in a circle and ask them to share their own silly adventure stories. Prompt them with questions like, “What would you do if your sleigh got stuck in the snow?” or “Who would you invite on your sleigh ride?” Encourage them to use their imagination and incorporate elements from the “Jingle Bells Adventure” story, such as laughing and singing with friends.

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side.
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upset.
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
