Favorite kids song?

[LittleRabbitBunny]

"Sally the Camel" has been stuck in my head for days, I love that song! But I'd like to know, what's your favorite kids song?

[Middlespace Brat]

Hmmm... this is a hard one! I think aside from Disney, probably Happy from Despicable Me, or Better When I'm Dancin by Meghan Trainor! I also just looove animated soundtracks like Trolls, My Little Pony, Barbie, etc. And The Laurie Berkner Band has some reeeelly catchy ones. 

I think my favorite underrated one is Raisins by The Barenaked Ladies. They have an entire original children's songs album called Snacktime, it's SO GOOD and no one ever talks about it! Raisins is the goofiest song, I had friends who aren't Daddies or Littles in any way shape or form listen to it and love it.

I always liked singing there is a hole in the bucket

I love anything that's Bubblegum Pop!!!! It's physically impossible to list just one song!!!!!! You've got your, "This was made for toddlers." pop... all they way through to, "Okay, so you're an older tween now!" pop... and I love it!

Is it a bit cliché at this point to say disney songs? xD i can't think of anything else at the moment ;w;

also @OuO Alexibaaa You have a great taste in music!! i love really bouncy happy pop like this! totally putting a few of these in my playlist~ (also i was totally obsessed with the Spiceworld album as a kid kgjfj)

@kuuchan Thanks! 😊

I was never the biggest Spice Girls fan, but I do like them! At their height, I was (and still technically am) much more obsessed with the Backstreet Boys.

Besides listening to Bubblegum Pop, I'm also a metalhead! And Kawaii Metal is absolutely perfect, imho~

My favorite smol songs are “a pirate says Arr” and “almost everything is Boinga” the backyardigans usually have my favorite smol songs and are generally vibey to me ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

I love nursery rhymes! I work at a daycare and I love singing them to the kiddos. I love the song "Down by the Bay" and "Baby Shark"

I grew up listening to Raffi playing sing-a-long songs for kids on his guitar. Any those I really like 😊

[sophieR]

Omg! Love this thread and plenty to check out now. 

One song I can never get out of my head is the ladybug song:

But I also like most Disney.. my era was the cheetah girls and Lizzy Maguire tho. 

 

Tho pitch perfect was also good!.

I still play Raffi CDs in my classroom! 🤭😆 it's awesome! I also have Dr. Jean, Greg and Steve, and this really old book of sings called "Circle Time songs" I had the kids playing air guitar and singing the rock n roll ABCs this week! They begged for the song the next day so of course we did it again...😆😆😆 I love being little and teaching kids that are my little age!!! Bestest job ever! (Minus the stress from the other teachers).

Honestly, the most memorable kids song that gets stuck in my head aaall the time isn't even one from my childhood, it's a sped up version of Schnappi das Kleine Krokodil that I stumbled upon one time and haven't been able to get over yet LOL! It just gets me in the little space mood so fast, haha.

We did this one today in preschool with dancing scarves and did the motions

top (reach up)

bottom (touch the floor)

middle (arms straight out in front of you)

On the ahhh singing parts we have our scarves

1 - on the floor

2- waist high

3- shoulders 

4 - above our heads

 

There's other dance moves, but I'd have to demonstrate... 🤭😳

 

We love this one too!

Here's some good old classics I'm introducing this week too! 

 

 

 

And don't forget Go Bananas!!!

 

 

And the Bear Hunt

 

 

 

I really don't understand why teacher's aides don't stay in my room more than a year or 2. 🤷‍♀️😂😆 I mean we dance and sing and sing and dance and have hug time ! What could be better?

Oh wait! We also have yoga time and free choice centers (play time), large group, small group, story time, breakfast, lunch and outside or gym time! 

Guess not everyone is designed to play.🤷‍♀️
