Wee Christmas Sing
12–23 December 2020
Wee Christmas Sing is a completely free project for children aged 7-9.
Every day at 11am from 12–23 December we will reveal a new song and musical game that is all about Christmas or winter.
Over the course of the project, the children will learn new songs, develop musical skills and gain confidence.
These songs and games are brought to you by John Thomson and Karen Clark. Watch a short introduction from NYCOS Creative Learning Director, Lucinda Geoghegan.
We’d love to see your own videos of these songs on social media using the hashtag #WeeChristmasSing.
This is a Youth Music Initiative funded project from NYCOS, Scotland’s youth singing organisation.
