One song, many ways:

• Invite the children to decide how many candles they might like to hold up next.
• Can you blow out each candle one at a time?
• Can you hum the song? Lip trilling the song?

Lyrics:

Candle burning bright,

Twinkling in the night.

Now it's time to say goodnight and gently blow you out [blow].
