Jingle Bells song lyrics:
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh,
Dashing through the snow,
in a one horse open sleigh,
through the fields we go, laughing all the way,
Bells on bob tails ring, making spirits bright,
Oh what fun it is to sing a sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Top tip!
For younger children, focus on the chorus. The repetition is great for their language development.
