Sparkly Kingdom on the Cloudsshimajirou

[Dance for Sports Day that toddlers can do too] On the Shining Kingdom’s Clouds 🌈 [Kindergarten, Nursery School, Recital]

With its bright, bouncy melody and captivating vocals, this song instantly captures children’s hearts.

Set in a mysterious world above the clouds, it’s packed with dreams and excitement, making any sports day dance program even more delightful.

It’s the theme song for the film “Shimajiro and the Prince of the Twinkling Kingdom,” released in March 2022, and it’s brimming with Shimajiro’s charming worldview.

The easy-to-learn choreography and upbeat, positive message resonate with children and energize the event.

The simple dance moves are designed so everyone can join in together.

It’s an exceptionally wonderful track that adds extra sparkle to the atmosphere of sports day.

[Dance] Children’s Kabukihiromichi & tanizou

[Dance Choreography] Children's Kabuki (5-year-olds / Dance) / Hiromichi & Tanizo

The dance for Children’s Kabuki looks incredibly powerful and cool when performed by five-year-olds! The song gives a pop impression, but the choreography is packed with many Kabuki elements, making it a performance you can’t help but watch intently.

If you match the costumes to the music with a Kabuki-like, traditional Japanese look and incorporate Kabuki makeup, it adds even more impact.

Since many of the moves are very dynamic, this is an idea we definitely recommend to teachers who want their older kindergarteners to showcase a uniquely powerful dance.

[Warm-up Exercise] A-I-U-E-O CalisthenicsGReeeeN

Tried dancing the sports day exercise!! (Aiueo Music)

How about incorporating this song into warm-up exercises for the sports day? It’s “Aiueo Ongaku♬” by GReeeeN.

It’s a bit of a bargain of a track that lets kids move their bodies while also touching on the Japanese syllabary.

There’s an official dance available, but for warm-ups, it’s also a good idea to include choreography that helps stretch more thoroughly.

Rotate the neck, swing the arms, reach with the hands, and jump.

Think about ways to move the body so everyone can get through the events that follow without injuries.
