In the song we know what the horse's name is. Let's sing the first part of the song again and listen for the part about where the bells are. The sleigh bells make a very pretty sound. By attaching the bells to Bobtail, they jingled during the ride because the horse was running. Today we are going to make a jingle bell out of paper.
Students trace from a tagboard pattern, the top portion of the bell on the black paper.
Cut the top portion of the bell out. Assist children as necessary in cutting the opening at the top. Lay the top portion to the side. Students trace the bottom portion of the bell onto tagboard. Provide a pattern to trace.
