Nothing says winter is here like a nice, warm sing-along, whether it’s during the weeks before or after winter break. Here are the best children’s winter songs for morning meeting, winter concerts, high school performances, or just to play in the background while students work.
Plus check out our Inclusive Winter Songs Spotify playlist and listen on shuffle from now until winter break!
As a reminder, everyone has their own ideas about what’s appropriate to share with students. Always review song lyrics and music videos ahead of time to make sure they’re right for your classroom.
