Jingle Bells Free mp3 Download!

It's time for Christmas again. As a present to you and your students, I have arranged one of the most popular Christmas songs, Jingle Bells, and made it available as a Free Download!
I used the vocabulary from the MES English free Christmas Flashcards, and changed some lyrics to make the song more ESL/EFL friendly.


(arrangement copyright 2007, original Jingle Bells by James Pierpoint 1857)

Great work Shari, Thank You!





Christmas Flashcards


I highly recommend MES English for all of your numbers flashcards and worksheet needs:
MES-English.com - ESL Resources / EFL Resources for Teachers of Young Learners. FREE flash cards, handouts to match, phonics cards, ESL games, worksheets, an international projects Xchange library and activities all ready for printing.


How to teach: Using the flashcards from MES English, show the card for the vocabulary, and have your students repeat after me. As the teacher, you can say the word as I say it. I put a little joke in the song, as you are showing the presents card, say, " an airplane", kids love this kind of thing.

Teach the the lyrics, and make up a little dance during the Jingle Bells part. Then, during the "I can jump" part, have the kids do the actions. This way, if the students have trouble singing the Jingle Bells part, at least they can participate in the actions! Also note that the lyrics to the second part, I can jump, etc. coordinate with another Dream English song: I Can Walk. Please click here to check out how I teach I Can Walk.

This is a great idea from Chris Caldow in Germany, thanks Chris!

"I handed out the vocab cards to kids who pronounced the words properly and then asked them to hold up the cards when their word was mentioned in the song. During "Jingle Bells" we walked in a circle, changing directions after "Hey". Then we all counted to 4 and did the actions as required."

Have fun, and please let me know how your students like it!

Jingle Bells-Dream English Version Lyrics

Merry Christmas! Let's Practice
Santa Claus, a Christmas tree, toys
a stocking, an airplane, no, I'm kidding!
presents, a candy cane, here we go

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey!

1,2,3,4!
I can jump, I can dance, I can sing, I can laugh
I can jump, I can dance, I can sing, I can laugh

Let's practice; a reindeer, a sleigh, a snowman, an angel, an elf, mistletoe, here we go

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey!

1,2,3,4!
I can jump, I can dance, I can sing, I can laugh
I can jump, I can dance, I can sing, I can laugh
Merry Christmas!
