Childrens Christmas songs
from:The Christmas season is probably every child’s favourite holiday. One memorable thing about the holiday is the children’s Christmas songs that are sung by almost every child. Children know a lot of the traditional songs, however it is the songs that are aimed towards children that are enjoyed the most. Children’s Christmas songs are a bit more modern with lyrics that children will remember throughout their life.
Most children grow up knowing the traditional Christmas songs, such as Silent Night, or Away in a Manger. Singing them during school Christmas plays, nativity scenes, or concerts. However it is on the playground that they learn from their peers the more memorable children’s Christmas songs. Songs such as Frosty The Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth, and other children’s Christmas songs. These songs are usually included in the soundtrack of Christmas movies, which children tend to remember more when they associate it with something fun that they watched.
Children also remember songs with lyrics that are funny or witty. So when the lyrics to traditional songs, such as Jingle Bells, are changed to some funny memorable lyrics children will of course sing the song more often and remember it better. For example Jingle Bells is traditionally sung:
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
But children tend to remember the song when the lyrics are changed to:
Jingle Bells, Batman Smells
Robin laid an egg
The batmobile lost its wheel and the Joker ran away
By changing the lyrics, and keeping the music of the song the same the children will more likely remember the songs. The lyrics to some of the childrens Christmas songs are a bit controversial, as some people may feel that changing the words to traditional songs with more fun memorable lyrics is offensive and disrespectful. However, Christmas is all about having fun, being merry and jubilant. So having a few laughs with the traditional, sometimes boring, Christmas songs is nothing more than part of the enjoyment of the festive holiday mood.
Some ways of helping the children to remember childrens Christmas songs is by turning the songs into the form of a game. For example, by using the lyrics for The Twelve Days of Christmas, you can have the children make, or find something, that is symbolic to each day and have them drop it at a neighbour’s door each day, starting twelve days before Christmas. To make it more enjoyable for the child, have them do it in secret so that the neighbours have no idea who is dropping off the gifts each night. By doing this, the child will never forget the words to this childrens Christmas songs.
