An ideal poem for small children, which will help to encourage their listening skills.
Listen Very Carefully…..!
Listen very carefully….Can you hear a noise?
It’s the chattering of teddy
bears and other little toys.
They are travelling together
to very snowy lands.
There’s a monkey and a panda,
and a dragon, holding hands.
There’s a rabbit on a
scooter, and rocket that can fly
They are travelling on
moonbeams, high up in the sky.
There’s a robot on a
tricycle, and an elephant in a car
They are travelling together,
and I think they will go far.
Where are they going? Would you like to know?
Listen very carefully…. while I whisper soft and low,
They are travelling to Lapland for a very special day
Where little elves will wrap
them up and put them on a sleigh.’
Listen very carefully….to a sound that makes you
tingle.
It’s the stamping of a
reindeer’s hoof and little bells that jingle.
Soon the toys are travelling,
travelling far away
Wrapped in pretty boxes for a special kind of day.
Dreaming of the morning and
waking in the light.
Listen very carefully…..
Can you hear a noise?
Could that be Father
Christmas, delivering the toys?
