Spring Songs for Preschoolers

I love using songs and chants with preschoolers! These are great for transition times, grabbing their attention, and adding brain breaks and movement into the day!

Preschoolers love music—and so do I! Songs and chants are one of my favorite tools in the classroom. They make transitions smoother, capture kids’ attention in a snap, and bring in fun movement breaks throughout the day. Whether you’re starting circle time or helping little ones line up, a catchy tune can make all the difference!

In this blog post, I’ll be sharing 7 songs and chants (with a free printable!) that you can incorporate into your classroom today!

Spring Songs & Chants

Spring Song

This song is sung to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell. The three verses in this song talk about the spring sun, rain, and flowers!

Plants

This song is also sung to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell. It talks about the process of planting seeds in the spring. This would be so fun to add actions to! Here are my suggestions for actions:

Seeds – pretend to plant seeds in the ground

Rain – move fingers like rain falling down

Sun – spread fingers out like the sun

Plants – squat down low and slowly rise up to standing

Buds – start with closed fists and open them up

Flowers – spread hands out to look like a flower

5 Pink Pigs

This one is a rhythmic chant. As you read the chant, pretend to be pigs! I love to use this one and add in the names of my students for the farmer. They love it, too!

Kites

Here is another chant all about kites! As you say the chant, pretend your arm and hand is a kite and show your fingers for the number of kites. As the chant adds more kites, hold up more fingers. You can also hold up number cards.

Colored Frogs

This song is sung to the tune, Did You Ever See a Lassie? This is a perfect song for kids to use movement and act like frogs! Kids will love this one!

Blackbirds Sitting on a Hill

Here is another fun chant using movement! Make sure to do the actions described below!

The Beehive

Lastly, here is a chant all about bees! Make sure to use your fist as a bee. This one is fantastic for counting up to five!
