Recommended for preschool recitals! Choral songs that 3-year-olds can adorably sing

In daycare and kindergarten, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone to sing together—not only during daily activities, but also at recitals and music concerts.

Choral singing is a wonderfully enjoyable activity: children can feel the comfort of singing, strengthen their sense of unity with friends, and deepen their interest in the seasons and events.

We’d love to include a variety of songs so that children become familiar with music and grow to love singing.

So this time, we’re introducing recommended choral pieces for 3-year-old preschoolers.

We’ve gathered lots of lively, energetic songs that are perfect for three-year-olds, as well as cute tunes.

Find a wonderful song that fits your class’s vibe, and have fun singing together!

The piece created by Tetsuzo Wada and Ryohei Hirose features a charming melody that gently wraps the soft arrival of spring, evoking the breath of nature.

While depicting scenes of the spring breeze caressing budding trees, intertwining its song with babbling streams, and frolicking with grasses and flowers, it conveys the hopeful atmosphere of a new season.

Broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” from April 1972, it remained in many listeners’ hearts, accompanied by the clear voices of the Arakawa Tokyo Children’s Choir.

In 2012, it returned to radio for the first time in about 40 years as part of the “Minna no Uta Excavation Project.” It is a perfect song for children starting a new school year and for anyone eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring, and will surely continue to be sung for years to come.

With its bright, rhythmic melody and friendly lyrics, this heartwarming song helps nurture children’s sense of color.

The gentle voices of Osamu Sakata and Yuko Kanzaki lead listeners into a world of colors like red, blue, yellow, and green.

Released by Victor Entertainment in June 1992, it was featured as the Song of the Month for June and July on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” Filled with a soothing melody and elements that make learning color names fun, it’s perfect for singing together with friends and family during walks or outdoor playtime.

It’s also a great pick for spring, when fresh greenery shines, as a way to spark interest in the colors all around us.
