apple Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Hi all I am looking for a simple song (a baby Jesus one) for our nursery children to sing in the Christmas play (not twinkle twinkle!). Something simple, easy to learn and possibly a little bit different????
Guest Stalbans Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Hi, I found this poem in a book we had in the Preschool and I have just started to teach it to the children. Mary's Cradle Mary stooped and patted the baby, stroked the top of his downy head, How she wished she could rock the manger, Rock the rickety manger bed. Joseph asked, 'Is the baby hungry?' Mary answered, 'He's just been fed,' Joseph longed for the fine new cradle, Fine rocking cradle in his shed. by Sue Cowling
Guest Stalbans Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 http://www.more4kids.com/Music/acm2-little-children.mp3 Also found this song, quite American but think would be really for the children to pick up. (need quicktime to play)
Guest Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I made up this one to the tune of 'I'm a little teapot' don't know if it's the sort of thing you want. I've put words to several nursery rhymes for our Nativity as the children are confident with the tunes. I could add more verses if you want it longer. Little baby Jesus On the hay Dreaming sweetly On Christmas Day Hear the cattle lowing By his bed Carry on sleeping Dreamy head.
Guest Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Wow, that's lovely Adbeneja! You are clever..... wish I could do that!

Guest Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Last year I made up a very simple song for our children to sing to the tune of "London Bridge is falling down. Mary had a baby boy, baby boy, baby boy. Mary had a baby boy And his name was Jesus. Angels appeared in the sky etc Telling all of Jesus. Shepherds came to visit Him etc. The little baby Jesus. Three Wise Men also came etc. Bringing gifts for Jesus. Adbenaja, I like your song. Anita
Guest Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Anita your song is great! Don't you find that it gets quite addictive changing words to fit your theme.
Guest Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 http://www.dltk-holidays.com/xmas/babyjesussong.htm I just found this which is nice and simple...sung to frere jaque
Guest Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 First song to come to mind is...Little donkey, not sure!
apple Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 Thankyou Guys I put this notice on last night and already it has come off the 'leader board' so I had to try and remember where I had posted it!!! Thanks for all your help. I love the Cheer leader type song Stalbans. I have gone for one sung to the tune of Wheels on the Bus- e.g. the cows in the stable go moo moo moo...... all night long etc. Should be simple enough for the adults as well as the children!!! cheers
