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

SmileMori Nana

[Mori Nana Smile] We created and danced a sports day/recital routine that even 3-year-olds can do (kindergarten/nursery)

The song featured in Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s “Oronamin C” commercial, in which Nana Mori—active as both an actress and a singer—appears, is “Smile,” sung by Mori herself.

The song was originally the debut single of the music duo HOFF DYLAN and was used as the first ending theme for the TV anime “Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo.” Its pop, catchy sound is a feel-good number that’s easy to imagine kids happily dancing to.

Give it a try!

[Dance] Is it a banana?Taniguchi Kunihiro

#46 [Dance] “Is it a banana?” Nursery (3-year-old class)

“Is It a Banana?” is a cute song with a bouncy rhythm and fun lyrics.

Have the children transform into banana-loving little monkeys and enjoy dancing.

Even with simple choreography, each child’s own expression will turn it into a one-of-a-kind performance that can only be seen in that moment.

It’s also great to enjoy the song itself and dance while singing.

Don’t get caught up in practice—make it something they can happily dance to during everyday care.

Let’s all—teachers and parents alike—cheer on the adorable mini-sized monkeys as they dance!

Don-Ska Pan-Pan Cheer Squad leaves a strong impression with its high-energy vibe.

It’s a song created for the NHK program “Okaasan to Issho,” first performed by Daisuke Yokoyama and Takumi Mitani.

The lyrics are packed with onomatopoeia and send encouragement to people who are doing their best.

Thanks to its message and its strangely catchy words, it spread by word of mouth and climbed high on the music charts.

Its unique choreography—like standing on one leg or folding your arms midway through—is another part of its charm.
