Feltboard: Ten Little Presents

Ten presents wrapped with bows,
What’s in them, no one knows.
We have to open them up to see.

Paper gets pulled off one.
Oh this is some much fun.
(Call out a color. Reveal the present or have a child reveal the present and say what it is.)

Song: This Little Light of Mine by Raffi

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

I’m gonna take this light around the world and I’m gonna let it shine.
I’m gonna take this light around the world and I’m gonna let it shine.
I’m gonna take this light around the world and I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Well, I won’t let anyone *blow* it out,
I’m gonna let it shine.
I won’t let anyone *blow* it out,
I’m gonna let it shine
I won’t let anyone *blow* it out,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
