I’m attaching a link to the audio file of our Christmas Caroling Contest–it starts with a couple of children practicing and then Mr. Matthias comes in with his harmonica and the children have to guess the Christmas carol he’s playing.  If you’re interested in playing I will attach a file with the names of the songs and an answer key.

Sorry it is unedited–having problems with my wavepad editor
