Lesson OverviewLearning Standards

This lesson plan is designed for toddlers aged 2-4, focusing on the exploration of music through singing and movement. The session begins with a welcoming circle and a warm-up activity that incorporates stretches and a greeting song. Children engage in singing familiar songs, such as "The Wheels on the Bus" and "If You’re Happy and You Know It," while mimicking actions that enhance their physical coordination and rhythm. During a movement break, they are encouraged to dance freely with scarves or ribbons. The plan also includes a segment for instrument exploration, allowing children to shake maracas or tambourines to the beat of lively music. The lesson concludes with a calm cool-down period, where children reflect on their favorite activities, promoting relaxation and mindfulness. Throughout the session, emphasis is placed on engagement, participation, and fostering a love for music and movement.
