This resource guide aims to equip parents of early elementary students (PreK to 3rd grade) with practical strategies and resources to foster music and movement in their children's daily lives. Incorporating music and movement into young children's routines has been shown to support various developmental domains, including language, motor skills, social-emotional growth, and cognitive development (Gerry, Hgzavi, & Trainor, 2012). This guide presents user-friendly apps, songs, physical activities, and literature that parents can readily access and implement.

Slide 1: Introduction to Music and Movement in Early Childhood Development

This slide introduces the importance of music and movement for young children. It explains how engaging with music improves language skills, enhances motor coordination, and promotes social interaction. It underscores that incorporating music and movement is simple, fun, and adaptable to daily routines such as morning routines, playtime, and bedtime.

Slide 2: Apps and Digital Resources for Music and Movement

This slide highlights accessible apps designed to encourage active engagement with music. Recommended apps include:

  • GoNoodle: Offers movement songs and mindfulness exercises suitable for children.
  • Musical Me: An interactive app that teaches music concepts through games and singing activities.
  • Baby Shark Dancing Song & Music Videos via YouTube Kids: Encourage dancing and movement with popular children's tunes.

Links to download or access these apps are included to facilitate easy implementation.

Slide 3: Songs and Rhymes to Encourage Movement

This slide provides a list of fun, energetic songs and nursery rhymes that inspire movement, such as:

  • "The Freeze Dance"
  • "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes"
  • "If You're Happy and You Know It"
  • "Shake Your Sillies Out"

Parents are encouraged to sing these songs during active play, transitions, or daily routines to promote physical activity and rhythm awareness.

Slide 4: Exercises and Physical Activities for Daily Routine

This slide suggests simple exercises suitable for young children, including jumping jacks, stretching, animal walks, and dance parties. It emphasizes incorporating movement into daily routines such as:

  • Morning wake-up stretches or dance
  • Movement breaks during homework or screen time
  • Active play before or after meals
  • Bedtime yoga and calming stretches

Links to online videos demonstrating these activities are provided for guidance.

Slide 5: Books and Resources for Parents and Children

This slide lists books that integrate music and movement, which parents and children can read or explore together:

  • Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae – a story about movement and self-acceptance.
  • Hokey Pokey song book and CD – encourages kids to participate in the classic dance.
  • Music Games for Young Children by Elaine Goldthwaite – provides game ideas that combine music and movement.
  • Dance Slapstick! Songs & Rhymes for Young Children by Susan S. G. – a collection of movement-based songs.

Additionally, websites such as NAEYC offer articles and resources on music and movement activities for early childhood education.

Conclusion

Incorporating music and movement into everyday life enriches children's development and makes learning fun. Parents are encouraged to explore these resources regularly, adapt activities to their child's interests, and enjoy quality movement and musical experiences together.
