Listening to and singing animated Christmas fun songs are fun ways to teach children about poems and rhyme.
Rhyming Words Discovery – Christmas Fun Songs
As you enjoy the animated Christmas fun suggestions with your children or grandchildren, make a game of discovering the rhyming words – whether it is end rhyme or internal rhyme. Everyone loves singing Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and Frosty the Snowman, just to name a few of my old favorites that are great examples of alliteration, too. (follow the links for some background information on these animated Christmas songs)
Now add to your Christmas animated fun by creating your own original rhyming poems and then give each a tune. And there you have rhyming lyrics for your original Christmas song!

I know the older ones, but I must admit that I haven’t seen most of the newer movies. My grands usually see them with their parents in the movie theaters, but they would probably be happy to watch them again with me. Maybe this week we’ll have a movie night with Netflix or Red Box.
