1st Grade Music Songs

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

⭐ Large-Group Activities

⭐ Bulletin Boards

A great way to work on expressive movement with your kids is through HAPPY FEET!

In this lesson, students will hear a 4 minute and 32 second compilation of classical music, Edvard Grieg, John Philip Sousa, Dmitri Shostakovich, and more! Each piece will be played for a segment of time and while being played students will mimic the tempo by showing expressive body movement

• If students hear FAST music, they run as fast as you can in place!
• If students hear SLOW music, try a slo-mo movement in place!
• If students hear MODERATE speed, try marching in place

Of course, as the music teacher you can tailor this however you like, but with social distancing in our classroom at this juncture, the motions are preferable the way they are built :)

In between each segment there may be a slight pause which students will "freeze" in time. Keep the kids' attention by saying if they moving during the silence, they're OUT! ;)

Have a great time and perform this however you wish!
