Childcare: Today's recommended fun songs

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.

I think many preschools incorporate songs and exercises into morning meetings and main activities.

There are so many types of songs and exercises now that just searching for them can be a real challenge.

In this article, we introduce music you can enjoy with children today.

The content is updated daily, so you can discover new music every day!

In addition to songs and exercises, we also introduce easy-to-enjoy instruments and hand-play activities, so you’re sure to find music you’ll want to enjoy today!

Have fun arranging activities to suit each age group, and enjoy a wonderful time with the children.

[Childcare] Today’s Recommended Fun Songs (31–40)

Song of the Year-Roundgaikokukyoku

Tue afternoon 2/26/19 Round singing of “A Song for All Seasons”

Song of the Year-Roundgaikokukyoku

Feel the changing seasons through song with “A Song for the Whole Year”! It starts with New Year’s in January and includes many memorable events for children, such as Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) in March, Koinobori (carp streamers) in May, summer vacation in August, and Christmas in December.

It might help kids connect months with events—like saying, “It’s May, so the carp streamers are swimming!” When sung as a round, it creates a curious sensation of overlapping seasons.

The lyrics are packed and easy to get carried away, but try singing it while enjoying the transitions of all twelve months!
