Sit the children in a circle with enough room in the middle for a child to do a dance. Repeat the starting and stopping of music until there is a winner. If they freeze too late or can’t be still, they are eliminated. As soon as you stop the music, the kids must immediately freeze in whatever pose they are in. You press play and the kids start dancing. This is just like Musical Chairs except there are no chairs. Next, play the following song and have your kids strut around pretending to be in the band. For extra credit, you can make some elaborate DIY musical instruments. Or you can bring in your own toy instruments like kazoos, recorders, and maracas. Give them construction paper, empty paper towel rolls, paper plates, rubber bands, etc. The Pretend Big Bandįirst start by giving your kids the materials to make their own musical instruments or noisemakers. Plato Music And Movement Activities for Children Ages 3-5 1. Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue. There are massive amounts of benefits to music and movement including: reducing stress, building confidence, expressing emotions, developing social & motor skills, exploring cause & effect, improving health, exercise, better memory, creativity & imagination, reinforcing language concepts, learning new words & concepts, awareness of body positions, improving balance & coordination, and refining listening skills (noticing changes in tempo or pitch).Children can think with their bodies and react to the rhythm that the music provides becoming more confident in expressing themselves, in some cases, with wordless actions. Music is the perfect tool to draw out this behavior.It is important to develop proper movement skills so that children can become better communicators where words fail, create spatial awareness, and lead future lives as active movers and shakers. Children are very limited verbally on the emotions and thoughts they can share.
