Music and movement is very important for a children physical and mental growth. There are many ways to achieve music and movement. You can use the ones that are already out there that you can find with Alexa, or YouTube for the video versions ( to help you teach the movements to you and your kids) or you can create your own.
Classic Music from Alexa is – Alexa play super Simple songs, and let the kids follow the music. Baby shark, twinkle twinkle, etc.
Classics are also on YouTube – search music and movement on their and you get this playlist that looks like this.
Some other fun songs include: Tootietah Dance, freeze Dance, and my personal favorite Wipe Out.
When I was working with the school district we had CDs ( talk about old school now) but they had all the best songs on them. But I got tired of using the same ones all the time and decided to get creative.
I burned my own CD with songs from soundtracks scores and made my own movements to them. Such as:
1. Jurassic Park Main Song: had the kids fly like dinosaurs.
2. Kung Fu Panda Main Song: it goes slow and then fast so I had the kids go very slow karate moves for the slow and then once it sped up they went faster.
3. Pirates of the Caribbean Main Song: practice sword fighting without swords lol.
4. Star Wars : Same basic idea but light sabers. Lol
So that was their favorite ones. So it’s easy to get creative with the scores from today.
Have fun and good luck!!!!!!
