Preschool Active Movement Dance Party Songs Cards Classroom Decor Back to School
By Stephanie Smith
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

Steady as you Go! (Identifying and maintaining steady beat)
By Jason Litt
Steady Beat is one of the cornerstones of early childhood music whether you are playing with your Pre-K, Kindergarten, or even First Graders. Have them rise up to the challenge of “Steady as you go!” an amalgamation of classical music designed to have students become steady beat MASTERS!
You will assign students to play either body percussion to show steady beat (head, shoulder, lap, feet, etc) or even a drum, auxiliary percussion instrument, or anything else you can find.
You will then play the audio example of various pieces of classical music by clicking on the “heart” and watch the kids try to find the steady beat – only to be interrupted as the music abruptly changes every 20 to 30 seconds!
Students will have to start over and find the steady beat again as they transition into the next piece.
Have a terrific time finding that beat!
HAPPY FEET! (Fast, Slow, and Moderate expressive movement)
By Jason Litt
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
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!
A Dynamic Duo (Forte and Piano) (*Distance Learning Approved! *)
By Jason Litt
A terrific way to work on soft and loud is with a quick review with our dynamic duo in music, Piano and Forte.
Students will review dynamics in music and watch a short video from Music K8 called "Forte Piano" with the Barnyard Orchestra!
They will then listen to 10 different examples of music (clips that range from 15-30 seconds long) and choose whether they think the music played best fits the term "Piano" or "Forte" by clicking on the screen.
The right answer will illuminate green the next slide.
Great practice for your young ones to begin the year (if you're distance learning) or good general review
