Chinese Nursery Rhythms About Snowman for Kids

In wintertime, snow is fun. After the snow, making a snowman is the most exciting activity for kids. It’s a good time learning some Chinese nursery rhythms on snow and snowmen. Here let’s learn a couple of Chinese nursery rhymes about snowmen. 

小雪人
Little Snowman

我是个小雪人
I’m the little snowman
胖又圆
Fat and round
这是我的手套
Here’s my mittens
我的帽子
Here’s my hat
加上围巾
Plus my scarf
胡萝卜鼻子
And my carrot nose
看我在寒风中站立
Look at me standing in the cold air

小雪人 is the Chinese version of Little Snowman. This nursery rhythm shows how a snowman looks: it is fat and round. With the mittens, hat, scarf put on him, and a carrot as his nose, a snowman stands in the cold wind.

When it gets warmer, snow would melt and eventually the snowman disappears. So the 2nd nursery rhythm is 雪人不见了.

雪人不见了 
The Snowman is Gone

雪人怎么不见了,
How did the snowman disappear?
雪人怎么不见了,
How did the snowman disappear?
雪人只有手,没有脚，
The snowman has only hands, no feet
让他怎么跑？
How could he run away?

雪人只怕太阳照,
The snowman is only afraid of the sunshine
太阳一出雪就消,
It melts as soon as the sun comes out
雪人不会喊呀不会叫呀,
The snowman can neither shout out nor yell
太阳出来它就自己融化掉。
It melts down as soon as it comes out.

雪人原来不坚牢,
So the snowman is not solid
只怕太阳照,
It is afraid of sunshine
太阳一出雪就消。
The snow melts as soon as the sun comes out.

雪人不见了,
The snowman is gone
雪人怎么不见了,
How did the snowman disappear?
雪人原来不坚牢,
The snowman is not solid
虽然他也有头呀也有脑呀,
Although it has head and brain
那太阳出来他就自己不能保。
But it cannot help as soon as the sun comes out.

This cute nursery rhythm answers an interesting question: where do the snowmen go when the sun comes out. The question for kids to ponder over is based on the fact that a snowman does not have feet. It is a really great one for kids to learn in winter especially when they observe the disappearance of a snowman.
