Free Back-to-School Songs and Rhymes for Circle Time
I always loved circle time with preschoolers, and I’ve been
having a wonderful time sharing fun songs with my now-9-month-old
grandbaby. So this school year, I want to publish a series of free songs
and rhymes for circle time. I had a post previously with
Free Educational Songs for Circle Time.
That post had songs for any time of year. This series will have circle
time songs, rhymes, and fingerplays for specific seasons or events
throughout the year. The songs in today’s post work well at any time of
year, but they’re especially helpful at the beginning of the school
year.
There
are lots of wonderful CDs you can buy that I absolutely love (and used
both as a teacher and homeschooler), but I’m just listing free resources
here. You can typically find links to buy the CDs for songs on YouTube
if you wish.
These are songs that I’ve found online for preschool teachers and
childcare providers. Most of them are also great if you’re a
homeschooler or parent supplementing your child’s learning at home.
Of course, they’re also fun for grandparents and anyone who enjoys
spending time with a special child. My granddaughter might feel like she
lives in a musical sometimes, since both her mom and I sing to her
throughout the day. We make up lots of our own songs, and these types of
songs are great for stimulating new ideas, too.
