I know how much the kids love "The Bear Hunt" song so when I came across this song, I had to share it! It was posted on Dr. Jean's blog. Your kids are going
to love this “Santa Hunt”.
Santa Hunt
Adapted by Sara Lensing
Get out your
backpacks.
Open ‘em up.
Let’s put in some
cookies for Santa and his reindeer.
And, let’s put in a
thermos of milk in case he gets thirsty.
Oh. and don’t forget
your Christmas lights in case it gets dark.
Zip ‘em up and repeat
after me.
(Children repeat each
line.)
We’re gonna find
Santa (March and slap thighs.)
Before Christmas
day.
He has a big, round
belly (Extend arms.)
And a long, white
beard. (Pull down from chin.)
Look over there! (Point.)
It’s a Candy Cane
Forest!
Can’t go over
it. (Arms over head.)
Can’t go under. (Arms down low.)
Can’t go around
it. (Circle arms.)
I guess we’ll go
through it. (Open palms and shrug
shoulders.)
Slurp, slurp,
slurp! (Pretend to suck on candy cane.)
We’re gonna find
Santa
Before Christmas day.
He has a big, round
belly
And a long, white
beard.
Look over there!
It’s an egg nog
river.
Can’t go over it.
Can’t go under.
Can’t go around it.
I guess we’ll swim
across it. (Stroke arms as if swimming.)
We’re gonna find
Santa
Before Christmas day.
He has a big, round
belly
And a long, white
beard.
Look over there!
It’s a gingerbread
house!
Can’t go over it.
Can’t go under.
Can’t go around it.
I guess we’ll go
through it.
Yum, yum, yum! (Pretend to eat gingerbread.)
We’re gonna find
Santa
Before Christmas day.

Look over there!
It’s Santa’s
workshop.
Can’t go over it.
Can’t go under.
Can’t go around it.
I guess we’ll go
through it.
Shhh! (Finger over lips.)
Get out your
Christmas lights. (Pretend to get out
lights.)
Turn them on – click.
Let’s set out the
cookies and milk.
I see a big, round
belly.
And a long, white
beard!
It’s Santa!
He-he-he! We can’t
let him see us!
Tip toe! (Tiptoe.)
Quick! Go through the gingerbread house! Yum, yum,
yum,!
Swim across the egg
nog river!
Go through the Candy
Cane Forest! Slurp, slurp, slurp!
Go home.
Open the door.
Shut the door.
Phew!
We found Santa.
Merry Christmas to
all!
*Children could do a time line or a story map of the hunt for Santa as a follow up activity.
