The Magic Forest
Story and music by John Krumm
Once upon a time there was a village full of happy dancing children.

But one day an bad witch came along and said, “this happiness is dee-scusting.
” So she took out her
magic wand and POOF! All of the buildings disappeared.
POOF! All of the grownups disappeared and
POOF! All of the animals disappeared.
And, she turned the children into a magic forest.

A hundred years passed.
It was so sad that even the birds wouldn t fly over the magic forest.
But, one
day a good witch came along riding her bicycle.

“Pee-yoo! Something stinks around here.
It smells like bad magic.
I ve got to do something about this.
”
So, she reached into her bag of tricks, but she only had one spell left.
The five day spell.
With this spell,
each day when the sun went down everything in the forest would change to something else.
If she got it
right, it would stay that way when the sun came up the next morning.

The good witch scattered the magic dust all over the forest, and when Sun went down and the Moon   [Moins]

Use improvisations on the guitar to have children practice basic movement skills.

Stand up
Sit Down
Spin around
March
Gallop
Hop
Run
Walk backwards
Jump
Sashay (gallop sideways)
Skip
Etc.

“This means stand up.
” Play a gliss up the low E-string
“This means sit down.
” Play a gliss down the low E-string.

Play with these 2 Secret codes a couple of times without speaking then add:
“This means spin around.
” Play a fast high arpeggio.

Play with these 3 SCs a few times without speaking then add:
“This means march.
” Improvise marching music.

Continue like this, adding movements with appropriate music and switching randomly with as little
speaking as possible.

All I Want For Christmas
All I want for Christmas is my
Two front teeth, my two front teeth,
See my two front teeth!
Gee, if I could only have my
Two front teeth,
Then I could with you
"Merry Christmas.
"
It seems so long since I could say,
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I d be,
If I could only whistle (thhhh)
All I want for Christmas …
Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria, In Excelsius Deo
Shepherd why this jubilee,
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, In Excelsius Deo
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And here s a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie s a hand o thine;
We ll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, …
We ll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Away In A Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet
head,
The stars in the bright sky looked down
where he lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the
sky,
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in your tender
care,
and take us to heaven, to live with you
there.

Blue Christmas
I ll have a blue Christmas without you;
I ll be so blue thinking about you.

Decorations of red on a
Green Christmas tree
Won t mean a thing if
You re not here with me
I ll have a blue Christmas, that s certain;
And when that blue heartache starts
hurting,
You ll be doing all right with your
Christmas of white,
But I ll have a blue, blue Christmas.
