A Shy Santa
Isn't it the strangest thing.
That Santa is so shy. (hide face)
We can never, never catch him, (make fingers run)
No matter how we try.
It isn't any use to watch, (hand to eyes)
Because my parents said,
Santa Clause will only come (shake finger)
When children are in bed.
Santa, Santa, Reindeer
Directions:
- Play just like duck, duck, goose
