These ADORABLE song cards are a FUN & EASY way to incorporate active movement songs into your classroom! I put these cards on the wall in my classroom near my circle carpet and let the children take turns picking out their favorite songs during our music & movement (dance party) time. These versatile cards can also be used in a pocket chart, laminated and placed on a metal binder ring, or used to make song sticks.

The songs included in this product and been tried & tested in an actual preschool classroom and are well-loved by my students. I introduce a handful of songs at the beginning of the year and gradually add more songs as the children begin to gain familiarity with the playlist.

This product includes one banner and 42 active movement song cards that can be rotated out throughout the school year.

PLEASE NOTE: The songs included in this product are located in Spotify. Artists may need to be modified if you are using a different streaming service or YouTube for your music & movement time.

This resource is great for:

⭐ Music & Movement Time

⭐ Transitions

⭐ Indoor Recess

⭐ Outdoor Recess

⭐ Brain Breaks

⭐ Movement Breaks

⭐ Rainy Day or Inclement Weather Days

⭐ Classroom Decor

By popular request, here's an advanced arrangement of the holiday hit that'll sure to get your bucket drumming kids fired up, First Snow, by the Trans Siberian Orchestra!

There are four all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 3 or 4 times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

This version differs from the standard version with the implementation of sixteenth note patterns (which is great to work on with your kids for alternating hands!)

Here's the track so you can play along...

This set of 21 winter-themed songs is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Each song comes with adorable graphics that can be used on a flannel board/ felt board. (Simply cut out the graphics, laminate them and attach felt to the backs of the pictures.)

Felt-boards (or flannel boards) are a fabulous method of sharing music and rhythm with children by using visual props along with songs. My collection of songs and poems will help you to use your felt-board to its fullest potential.

Please note that these are NOT Christmas or holiday songs.

The following songs and poems are included:

⁂"Chubby Little Snowman"

⁂ "Falling Snowflake'

⁂ "Sing a Song of Winter'

⁂ "I'm a Little Snow Person'

⁂ 'Snowflakes Falling'

⁂ "It's Snowing'

⁂ 'Sledding'

⁂ 'Sprinkle, Sprinkle, Little Snow'

⁂ 'Five Little Snowflakes' (counting up)

⁂ 'Five Little Snowflakes' (counting down)

⁂ 'Way Up High'

⁂ 'The Mitten Chant'

⁂' If it's Winter and You Know It'

⁂ "5 Little Snowmen"

⁂ "The Snow is in the Air"

⁂ "Two Little Snowflakes"

⁂ "Snow Falls"

⁂ "I'm a Little Snowflake"

⁂ "The Snowman"

In "KING CAT", introduce your kids to some great music from indigenous instruments from Africa! Using your classroom Djembe or Tubanos, learn the music by rote by taking it one rehearsal section at a time (with rehearsal markings [A], [B], [C], and so forth). This is terrific practice with your older students who want to work on alternating hands, especially with trickier syncopations and advanced rhythms such as sequential triplets and sixteenth notes!

The notation on the first space F is a bass (middle of the drum) and the notation on the third space C is a tone (four fingers near the rim of the drum, pitched a bit higher)

At the end, wrap it up and put on a show! Want to layer it?

• Have tambourines or shakers play on specified beats (try 2 and 4)
• Have shakers play 16th notes all the way throughout or in specific sections
• Have half the class play 1st and 3rd measures, the other half play 2nd and 4th measures
• Do it in a round! :)

Use this in class, a concert, a parent showcase, admin, faculty and staff, whatever you wish!

Have a terrific time with this one :)

Use this songtale to review everything that you read about in the book! Using the same melody (with minor modifications due to changing lyrics) that I composed for Little Blue Truck, sing about how Little Blue discovered a new friend living on the farm, with the help of the other farm animals. Great way to review musical form as well, since the song is in ABA form. For grades PreK-2. Ukulele chords included to help you accompany.
