Winter Adapted Song Book | Winter Clothing Vocabulary | SLP SPED Autism Music

This Winter Adapted Song Book, "When It's Cold," introduces and reviews winter clothing vocabulary through a fun, interactive sing-along.

🧣 What's Included:

• 1 Interactive Adapted Song Book — When It's Cold (sung to London Bridge)
• Interactive matching pieces (winter clothing items)
• Winter clothing labeling activity

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Winter clothing vocabulary (hat, scarf, mittens, coat, boots, and more), body part vocabulary (where each item goes — head, neck, hands, feet), life skills / dressing concepts, sing-along participation, listening comprehension, vocabulary labeling, expressive and receptive language, following directions, and fine motor skills.

Sample Verse:

"When it's cold I wear a hat,

Wear a hat, wear a hat.

When it's cold I wear a hat,

On my head.

When it's cold I wear a scarf,

Wear a scarf, wear a scarf.

When it's cold I wear a scarf,

On my neck."

How to Use:

In a small group, the teacher or therapist sings and moves through the pages while students sing along and match the winter clothing pieces. After the song, students complete the labeling activity to reinforce clothing vocabulary. The song's "on my head / on my neck" structure also teaches body parts and where each item goes. Independent learners can work through the book at a literacy center or workstation.
