Forest Christmas♪

Satomi-sensei, an active nursery school teacher, has an original song called “Forest Christmas♪” that’s perfect for performances at daycare and kindergarten.

It’s packed with features that only a current teacher would think of—things kids find easy to relate to.

With gentle lyrics and choreography that you can remember after hearing just once, it also works great as a full-body exercise.

In the call-and-response part, there are moments where not only the children but also the adults reply with a cheerful “Yeees!”, and everyone answers “Yeees!” together at the end.

It seems like a great way for everyone to create a fun Christmas atmosphere.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

When it comes to Christmas songs, many people might think of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” The piece was arranged by conductor Arthur Warrell.

Since its first performance in 1935, it has been loved by many.

There is no official choreography, but because it has a slow tempo, I think you can pair it with a variety of movements.

Another characteristic is that the lyrics are easy to remember, so it might be nice to sing along while dancing.

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland

A classic Christmas song originally based on an American pop tune.

In Japan, the original English title is often used, but it’s sometimes given the Japanese title “Suteki na Yukigeshiki” (“Lovely Snowy Scenery”).

It’s a refreshing number that perfectly fits the title, evoking the pure, beautiful white snowscapes of Christmas.

It’s frequently included in kindergarten and school performances, where children sing and dance in festive costumes.

With its upbeat, irresistibly catchy melody, why not create and showcase your own original choreography, taking inspiration from other people’s videos?

Tattayuzu

This is “Tatta” by Yuzu, which drew attention with the “Tatta Dance” choreographed by world-renowned dancer Kent Mori.

In the music video, children dance happily together with the two members of Yuzu.

Since this song is also used at events like kindergarten and nursery school recitals, it might be a good choice if many of the kids know it!

By the way, there are videos on YouTube featuring choreography for this song, so be sure to check them out for reference.

Of course, it’s fine to make adjustments to suit the children’s ages.

Also, it can be fun to have the kids actually write letters to Santa as part of the activities for this song.

It’s a great pick for those who want to dance at Christmas gatherings or parties.
