[Preschool] Recommended choral pieces for 3-year-olds

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

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!

What color do you like?Sakushi: Sakata Osamu / Sakkyoku: Inui Yuki

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.

In conclusion

We introduced some choral songs perfect for three-year-olds.

There were lots of tunes that make you want to sing out loud with tons of energy.

Gentle, soothing melodies are lovely too, but we’d love to channel the unique, overflowing energy of three-year-olds into their singing voices! Adding simple choreography or hand claps would be really cute as well.

Through chorus, we hope they’ll feel the joy of singing together with friends.
