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
