[Preschool] Great Dance Songs for Sports Day: Perfect for Younger Children

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Sports day is an important event where we can see children’s growth.

For many younger kindergarteners, it may even be their very first sports day.

For teachers, dance is essential to help all the children join in and have fun together!

So here, we’ve gathered recommended dance songs for younger kindergarteners.

There are lots of cute options, including theme songs from NHK programs and anime, as well as songs about fruits and insects.

Choose lively tunes that bring out the children’s innocence, and have everyone dance together to enjoy sports day!

Ninja Hattari-kun

♬ Ninja Hattari – Tempalay

Let me introduce Ninja Hattari-kun, which also serves as the theme song for the WOWOW original drama I Want to Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die.

Tempalay’s Ninja Hattari-kun features a cool sound, and a key point is that the lyrics include ninjutsu techniques.

When practicing with children, it’s a good idea to use instruments like whistles to highlight key movements.

The rhythm is complex, so this is a recommended idea for preschoolers.

Dance “Happiness Is Here” [05] · 2016 LAZONA Kawasaki

Happiness Is HereTōkyō Dizunī Rizōto

From 2013 to 2018, the main song played in Tokyo Disneyland’s daytime parade was “Happiness Is Here.” Centered on this track, the parade featured a Disney medley including titles like “Dumbo” and “Snow White.” As an aside, the previous parade, “Jubilation!,” was great too.

“Happiness Is Here” is very dance-friendly and easy to choreograph, allowing you to include lots of fun clapping and jumping sections.

Please also check out the choreography by various dance teams uploaded on video sites for reference.

It’s a highly recommended song that can be widely used from preschoolers to elementary school students.
