Its' true! In the fall, snakes find each other and 'snuggle' together- even different kinds! There are several things you can do with this song. Use simple hand motions on the chorus or try some of these other ideas. DRAMATIC PLAY: Have children hide around the room by themselves, listening to the song, and slithering together into a pile as the lyrics indicate. Be sure to set the rules before starting (snakes don't have arms, they don't talk, and they are going to snuggle NEXT to each other, not on top of each other!). Be sure children are familiar with the lyrics, so they will know when to shiver, slither, and smile. ART PROJECT: Have each child draw and cut out a snake. Decorate a bulletin board in your room with a tree and leaves on the ground. Have children add their snakes to the scene, and caption it, 'Snakes like to snuggle!' You can technical if you like, and learn about and have the children draw different kinds of snakes for the pile. MUSICAL ACTIVITY : Have children shake maracas on chorus.
