That sounds like a fun plan. I have heard someone warming up going through things like that and it does sound very nice and is the basis for real songs, as we know.

Right now my hands can't figure out how to do the transitions and result in a chord shape. I'm spending only a small amount of time on it as I do have the Christmas program but I think I'm going to find a video that shows what I need to do so I can get a visual.
