8 Songs to Begin a Preschool Day

The beginning of the day is the perfect time to welcome students to your classroom and remind them of the friendly environment they come to each day. A wonderful way to do this is through songs, chants, and rhymes. Children love them and it’s also a great way to incorporate music into your day. I’ve written eight good morning songs you can use in your classroom, even if you’re not a singer!

Have you ever noticed how a song has the ability to calm an anxious child, grab the attention of a lively group, and make children happy? Music is so powerful! Singing songs increases positive attitudes and is also a stress reducer. While singing, children can learn about rhymes, rhythm, and how to use their singing voice. You don’t need to be a trained singer to add music to your classroom.
