Hi Teachers:

I am running a creative movement class for the first time and planning on doing themes each week. I am running short on ideas for a few of the themes and would love if you could share any games/songs you have used. The kids will mostly be aged 1.5-2.5!! I am hoping for songs with directives in them (ex. Animal action, wheel's on the bus!!) Any other creative age appropriate games without songs are also welcome!
I need songs for the following themes:

Princesses/Superheros Theme

Colors Theme

Seasons/ Weather/ Garden Theme

Jungle Theme

Under the Sea Theme (I am already using the Three Little Fishes song!)

Sports Theme

Outer Space Theme

Thank you!

OH, I'm stunned at the age: 1.5 to 2.5 years?? Have you taught that age before? Will you be having assistants? or parents helping?

one of the most successful props for this age is a stuffed animal and I just use them as a baby. We do Rock a bye Baby waltz, etc. I would tie that into each theme.
Hap Palmer has a great color song. He sings out different colors (red, blue, yellow) to stand up or sit down, using scarves has worked the best for me.

Don't worry it is a parented class!!

Thanks I will try and find the Hap Palmer song!

Good, so glad parents will be there too.

a prop for "under the sea" could be a parachute, large blue sheet or large scarves. everyone holds parachute and bounces to the music, making the parachute go up and down. Then bounce it up high and go under and let the fabric go over you. The kids love it. Works on rhythm, cooperation, and going "under the sea".
