Child of AbrahamAmerika Gasshūkoku no dōyō

♪Abraham's children [with hand motions / “Aha” experience] — Abraham had seven children; one was tall and the rest were short~♪

This rhythmic and cute song is a hugely popular children’s play song.

The lyrics refer to Abraham, a figure from the Bible, but the focus is on having fun moving the body rather than any religious meaning.

The choreography, which moves through body parts in order—hands, feet, head, and bottom—helps improve children’s physical abilities.

Masato Shimon released it as a single in June 1979, and many artists have covered it since.

It’s often used at kindergartens and nurseries for sports days and recitals, and when everyone sings and dances together, it’s sure to create wonderful memories!

Keropons' “Ebi-Kanics” and “Hittsuki Mottsuki”

“Hittsuki Mottsuki” is a delightful song that combines play and music that children love.

With the soothing sound and rhythm of the ukulele, you can enjoy moving your bodies together with your child.

By changing which parts stick together, kids naturally develop creativity, cooperation, and a sense of balance.

It’s perfect not only for singing games at nurseries and kindergartens, but also for parent–child bonding time at home.

Working on it together with teachers and family makes it even more joyful to share.

It’s a wonderful song that brings smiles to everyone.

I love stripes!

[Classic Song] I Love Stripes ♪ [Shimajiro Channel Official]

The song, created from a child’s perspective, features a bright, rhythmic melody and familiar, easy-to-sing lyrics.

Naomi Minami’s appeal as a voice actress shines through, and her energetic vocals capture children’s hearts.

Released in March 2018, the track was featured on the children’s educational program “Shimajiro no Wow!” and has become popular with many kids.

It is also included on the album “Shimajiro no Wow! Uta♪ Dance Special Vol.11,” and has been developed as related content for Benesse Corporation’s early childhood correspondence course “Kodomo Challenge.” Since it’s a song that children can enjoy singing and dancing to together, it’s recommended for music time or use at events.

Mysterious Pocket

♪A Mysterious Pocket [with gestures]

“Fushigi na Pocket” is a song about a dreamlike pocket that makes biscuits multiply every time you pat it.

Many people may have heard it in childhood and tried patting their own pockets over and over.

You can enjoy it together with the choreography—patting your pocket with a light pop-pop, or gently swaying as you imagine having such a pocket.

It’s a beloved children’s song that has been cherished for many years, with adorable anecdotes like kids actually putting biscuits in their pockets, patting them, and ending up crumbling them to bits.

aye-aye

Ai Ai (with hand motions)

Ai Ai is a song about a little monkey, a character that often appears in children’s favorite picture books.

Lyricist Hiromi Aida wrote the lyrics after being asked to create a cute animal song and coming across the aye-aye, which lives on Madagascar, in an illustrated encyclopedia.

It’s perfect not only as a choral piece but also for school plays where a monkey character appears! To help children enjoy singing it even more with choreography, it might be nice to show them photos or illustrations and say, “This is the kind of monkey the song is about.”
