Spring is here! The birds are chirping, the caterpillars are crawling and flowers are popping up everywhere.

Check out the 5 activities included in this fun and interactive circle time bundle!

• When I Hear the Music: Music has a way of changing our mood and getting our body moving! Starting your circle time with a structured movement song like this will help get everyone focused and ready to learn. This song also encourages creativity when kids come up with ideas for what they do when they "hear the music."
• Flower, Stand Tall: Color identification and listening skills are the name of the game with this song. It’s a springtime staple in my practice, since those are both important goals with my students and clients. Use scarves, wrist jingle bells, streamers, bean bags, shakers, or just about any multi-colored items along with this song, giving students the opportunity to put their hand up high when they hear their color mentioned.

• Ladybugs Dance Stop and go activities are a great way to get children moving their bodies and following directions. By having them return to their leaf to eat every time the music stops, they stay engaged and on task.

• Ladybug Spots When children learn to count, it's usually by rote, meaning they've memorized the order the numbers go in without understanding what they mean. Therefore, it is important to give them many opportunities to make this abstract concept concrete. This helps them begin to realize that each object in a group can be counted once and only once. That's just what they'll do with all of the spots on this cute little ladybug.

• Caterpillar Walks Around: This song tells the simplified story of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, complete with easy-to-follow motions. By involving the body in learning this concept through play, it has greater meaning than if it were only shared in a story or image.
