HOLIDAY HATS
By: Caroline S. Mackay
This program can be practiced all year long. Just use the songs, poems, dances etc that you already teach during the year. There is a song or poem for each holiday during the year. Just insert them into the proper places. At the end of the year review what you have already taught and put it together. If you don't want to do a particular holiday then skip the rhyme before and go on to the next one.

(Speaker 1, 2, 3,4,5,6, and 7 come to the mikes. Line them up one on the left mike, 2 on the right mike, 3 on the left mike, 4 on the right mike, etc. This way the students are ready to speak as soon as the speaker in head of them has spoken and there is no down, waiting time.)
(These speakers 1-7 could have different hats than the others used in the program such as a cowboy hat, a nurses hat, a bonnet etc... They should get their hats before they line up. After they say their part they should stand in a straight light across the stage so that the audience can see them.)
SPEAKER 1: Hats, hats, hats
Of every sort
Some are flat
Some are tall or short
SPEAKER 2: Each day new hats we wear
All through the long, long year.
SPEAKER 3: Holidays fill every year
Making memories that are so dear.
SPEAKER 4: Holidays are real fun days
We celebrate them in many ways.
SPEAKER 5: Holiday hats are the most fun
Because you can wear more than one
SPEAKER 6: Through this year we now will run
Just watch and see everything we have done.
SPEAKER 7: (This speaker should have a workers hat, such as, a hard Hat or a nurses hat.) LABOR DAY we think of workers so busy
They work so fast they can make us all dizzy.
