[Childcare] Let's Dance at the Sports Day! A Collection of Perfect Dance Songs for Preschoolers (Younger Class)

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.
20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

An annual sports day that little ones look forward to! Here, we’ll introduce fun dance songs to liven up the event.

For younger children, energetic and cheerful songs are recommended so they can enjoy dancing with friends and moving their bodies.

From nostalgic tunes to brand-new tracks, there’s a wide variety of dance music available.

Choose songs that match the children and the atmosphere of your class, and put on a delightful dance performance! Let’s all work together to create an exciting sports day!

Friend Ponkurton

The song that brings a heart-thumping time with lively music was born in March 2016.

Featured on the soundtrack of the film “Shimajiro and the Book Kingdom,” it stands out for Naomi Minami’s bright voice and its rhythmic melody.

With themes of friendship and bonds with companions, it has a fun structure where the tempo gradually changes.

It’s included on the album “Shimajiro no Wow! The Movie: Shimajiro and the Book Kingdom + TV Version ‘Shimajiro no Wow! Original Soundtrack’,” and has been used in both the movie and the TV show.

It’s perfect for singing and dancing together at nursery and kindergarten parent-child events, and it’s a track that children who watch “Shimajiro no Wow!” will enjoy.

[Songs That Make Babies Happy] Let’s Have Fun (sung by Shoko & The Akilla) [Video to Calm and Delight Babies]

Let's have fun.Shoko&The Akilla

This work, which begins with a warm melody that gently embraces children, was created as the January “Tsuki-uta” (monthly song) for TV Tokyo’s program for infants and toddlers, Synapusyu.

It carries a message about enjoying each day, and its gentle tone that stays close to children’s hearts is especially memorable.

Shoko & The Akilla’s heartfelt vocals blend beautifully with the friendly, accessible rhythm.

On the show, it airs alongside colorful animations, bringing many smiles from viewers.

It’s a song that can be enjoyed not only at nursery and kindergarten events but also at home, so why not move your bodies together with the children and enjoy the world of music?

[Dance Kids] Start Song / Sho Fukuda & Tsubasa Suzuki [Childcare/Sports Day/Recital/Exercise/Parenting]

Start SongFukuda Sho / Suzuki Tsubasa

Start Song is an original track by play-song writers Sho Fukuda—who also provides music for NHK’s Okaasan to Issho—and Tsubasa Suzuki, who likewise writes play songs and serves as a visiting professor in a university department of early childhood education.

As the title suggests, it’s a fast-paced number that feels perfect for kicking things off on a high note.

The original choreography is full of energy, with clapping, stomping, and jumping—just right for little kids.

It’s an excellent choice for a performance by a class of younger children!

Atsuko Ono, the 21st “Uta no Onee-san” on NHK Educational TV’s “Okaasan to Issho,” made her debut with the song “Aou yo!” The composer is Kentaro Hayami, who was active as the 8th “Uta no Onii-san.” On the program, the big brother and big sister showed choreography that included waving their hands and stepping with their feet.

Young children are adorable just moving their bodies to the music.

Let’s have fun together by arranging the dance in various ways.

Ninja Dance

https://www.tiktok.com/@gachapinofficial/video/7198001612810505473

From the drama centered on ninjas, “Ninja ni Kekkon wa Muzukashii” (Marriage Is Difficult for a Ninja), we’d like to introduce its theme song, “Ninja Dance.” You may have seen it on social media, where celebrities and characters dance to the track—so many of you might already know it.

The choreography is designed with ninja movements as its motif, which is a key highlight.

It’s a good idea to adjust the difficulty to match children’s ages.

There are some cool moves too, so start by learning the choreography slowly and practice at an easy pace.

♬ 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.

Use your whole body and try transforming into a ninja! Let us introduce “Shuriken Ninja.” Ninjas are super cool to kids, right? Many children probably admire their swift moves.

“Shuriken Ninja” features easy-to-remember lyrics and a catchy melody.

There are also three moments where you can show off special techniques, making it perfect for highlighting the kids’ cool sides! At the end of the song, there’s a section where you dodge a series of moves in a row, so you can create a real highlight scene!
