[For 1-year-olds] Performance for the school recital

Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Many nursery teachers may be struggling to decide what to present at a performance for one-year-olds.

Even within the one-year-old age group, a small difference in months can greatly change what children can do, so choosing an act is tricky.

A performance is an important event where parents can see their children’s growth.

It’s best if the children can enjoy practicing from the start.

Here are some selections of acts for one-year-olds that let them have fun singing and dancing.

They might get a bit nervous on the day of the performance—but that’s adorable too, and it would be wonderful if teachers and parents could all watch over them together.

What colors do you all like? This performance, where the children pretend to be colorful crayons and sing, is absolutely adorable.

Crayons are familiar items from everyday crafts and picture books, so children feel at ease with them.

Parents are sure to smile when the cute kids appear transformed into green, red, blue, and yellow crayons! Whether they’re humming along with their friends or freezing up from nerves, these are precious moments you can only see now.

Be sure to give it a try.
