Sunsun Exercisedoriimingu
Anpanman’s exercise number, “Sansan Taiso.” Since it’s part of the Anpanman series, which is hugely popular with young children, it’s easy to get into.
It starts with a marching rhythm—one, two, three—and lets kids have fun moving their bodies: waving their hands, stretching to the side, and twirling their arms.
Encourage them with phrases like, “Let’s move our bodies full of energy like Anpanman!” and “Spread your hands wide,” and lead the routine with big, dynamic actions to keep it lively.
A little bit of exerciseNakagawa Hirotaka, Suzuki Tsubasa, Roketto Kureyon, Fukuda Sho, gaagaaS
As the title suggests, it’s a friendly and popular exercise routine with choreography that moves “just a little.” The phrase “just a little” feels fresh and fun, and it’s amazing how it draws kids in and keeps them engaged.
It starts with simple movements and gradually raises the difficulty, making it easy for children to take on challenges naturally.
Pausing mid-movement is surprisingly tough, but the key is that it’s enjoyable.
Since the range of motion is also “just a little,” it’s great that you can practice in relatively small spaces.
Banana-kun ExerciseShinzawa Toshihiko
A gymnastics number created by Toshihiko Shinzawa—an author of picture books and a singer-songwriter who continues to craft songs loved by children and adults alike, such as “Niji.” Set to a light, Latin-style rhythm, this simple piece uses the familiar theme of “bananas,” making it easy for young children to enjoy.
Watching the official video featuring Shinzawa himself, you can feel the message that it’s okay to dance freely.
We hope children will move openly and energetically, experiencing the joy that moving your body is “fun!”
