[Childcare] Recommended for little kids! A fun round song that makes you want to sing!

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.

How about trying a round, which makes singing together even more fun? Rounds, where the lyrics and melody seem to chase each other, are enjoyable both to sing and to listen to, and some of you may be thinking that you’d love for children to experience them too.

So this time, we’re introducing several rounds recommended for kids.

We’ve gathered songs that are easy even for little ones to sing and that let them enjoy the unique rhythms and harmonies of rounds—from classics many sang when they were small to songs featuring vehicles and animals that children love.

During practice, you might find yourselves getting pulled along by others now and then, but that’s part of the fun.

Enjoy singing freely together with the children in a lively, cheerful atmosphere!

A gentle song depicting warm bonds of the heart was born on NHK Educational TV’s “Okaasan to Issho” in September 2024.

Sung by Yuichiro Hanada and Maya Nagata, the piece conveys precious time with friends and the spirit of supporting one another, set to a poppy, friendly melody.

The warm vocals produced by D.W.

Nicols resonate with children, making it a popular choice for kindergarten and nursery school performances.

Also included on the album “NHK Okaasan to Issho Saishin Best Hyuurara Bunbun!,” this track is a recommended song to enjoy with family and teachers, enriching moments of togetherness.

In conclusion

We’ve introduced some recommended rounds for children. How did you like them? One of the charms of singing in rounds is the sense of accomplishment you feel when you make it through without getting thrown off. When singing with kids, it’s best to start by making sure they’ve memorized the melody and lyrics well before practicing the round. Once they’re used to it, it could be fun to increase the number of round groups! It would be great if children could experience the unique joy of rounds—something you can only enjoy when everyone sings together.
