Music is a powerful tool that helps many of us teach young kids all kinds of skills. You can teach colors, shapes, numbers, ABCs, social skills, language, etc. all through music.
Body awareness is an important part of perceptual motor skills. Body awareness is knowing where your body is in space. For a lot of kids, this skill comes naturally, and for others it does not.
Learning about body parts, and what makes up your body is something that you can use music for. It allows you to teach the names of body parts, but also how to move those body parts. It helps kids learn to control their bodies as they imitate different actions.
Here are some of my favorite songs, but I would also love to hear what your favorite songs are. I love preschool songs because they help teach so much, but I’m also human and after so many years, it can at times be unbearable to listen to the same songs over and over. So, please, send me some new songs!
I hope that some of these songs will be new for you to enjoy 🙂
