Age-age donuts
We’d like to introduce a donut-themed song and dance called “Age-Age Donuts.” The upbeat tempo and feel-good lyrics are key points.
When the lyrics say “Age-Age Donuts,” extend both arms and strike a donut pose.
Matching movements to the lyrics and incorporating rhythmic motions will make the dance even more fun.
While asking everyone what flavor of donut they like, enjoy the dance as if you’re making delicious donuts together.
If you’re performing at a recital or event, we also recommend colorful costumes and decorations in donut-inspired colors.

The fruit names are repeated throughout the lyrics, making the songs easy to remember.
The choreography is simple with many repeated moves, so it’s enjoyable for a wide range of ages—from little kids to older children alike.
