Winter song for classroom fun or stage

I'm offering a winter season arrangement for classroom or stage that you can preview at this link:

It's based on the popular Carol of the Bells melodies and uses several different classroom instruments in a circle activity. There are no references to any particular holiday so it can be used any time during the winter season.
Students will be able to learn their part by singing the lyrics for the instrument that they are assigned to play. My vision is that eventually students will learn all the parts and be able to move around the circle to each instrument grouping and play each part. This can be extended over several weeks of learning and since students change instruments and parts, it will stay fresh and exciting. To purchase the score, classroom teaching instructions and student music parts, go to:

Boomwhackers play
Snow on the ground
Family around
Cheer in the air
smiles everywhere

Handbells play:
building snow forts
bundled up tight
see the snow flakes
swirling at night

Glockenspiels play:
cookies with sparkly sprinkles
some sweet hot chocolate
with floating marshmallows too

Xylophones play:
skating on the ice
and whirling around
on my sled I'm speeding
over the ground

Thanks for looking.
Leslie
