As I have been doing online circle time with my students, it’s been fun to bring back songs the kids are familiar with, along with a few new ones. Sometimes it can be hard to have good engagement over Zoom, but the kids all love music and they love moving around!
I thought I’d post some of our favorite songs so that my students’ parents can find the songs we sing easily.
If you have some great movement song recommendations, let me know in the comment section! I’m always looking for new songs 🙂

Halloween Songs
I’m updating this post since it’s October, and these are some of the songs I’m singing with my students this month. I like them because they’re simple and easy to make actions to. Enjoy!
Tippytoes-actions include tippytoes, walking feet, marching feet, sneaking feet, skipping feet, hopping feet, jumping feet, running feet. They also get to yell “boo” throughout the song, which kids love
5 Little Monsters-the monsters version of 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed
5 Little Ghosts- Here are the words: Five little ghosts all dressed in white, scaring each other on halloween night. Mama ghost said “boooo” and 4 little ghosts back home they flew
Knock, Knock Trick or Treat? – Pretend to be a ghost, cowboy, witch, monster, ballerina, and pirate
Can You Make A Happy Face – make a happy face, angry face, scared face, and sad face
The Skeleton Dance – a good song for body parts. It includes foot, leg, knee, thigh, hip, back, and neck
