A Story About Happy Preschool Songs
I remember back in 2014, when I first started teaching, I always tried to find ways to make children love and be excited about going to school. And I tried a very simple but effective method: teaching children to sing happy school songs.
Initially, the children were quite shy and hesitant, but when I guided them to sing along to cheerful melodies and lovely lyrics, they gradually became excited and interested. Especially when I combined singing with fun activities, the children became even more engaged.
I remember once, I taught the children to sing the song “Vui đến trường” (Happy to Go to School). The children sang very enthusiastically, but one little girl sat quietly, not singing along. I gently asked her, “Do you like going to school?” The little girl shook her head: “I’m afraid of the teacher.” I understood that this was a common feeling for children who were new to class. I immediately encouraged her, “Teachers love you very much, teachers will teach you good and beautiful things. Let’s sing happily with your friends!” And then, the little girl also started singing, joining her friends in singing “Vui đến trường” in a lively and cheerful manner.
Choosing Happy Preschool Songs Suitable for Age
Choosing happy preschool songs suitable for age is very important. Preschool children are usually able to absorb and remember simple songs with cheerful melodies and easy-to-understand lyrics. Therefore, teachers need to choose songs that match the cognitive abilities of the children.
In addition, teachers also need to pay attention to the content of the song, ensuring that the song is educational and in line with the educational goals of the school. For example, you can choose songs about friendship, about love for school, about children’s recreational activities…
In Conclusion
Singing happy preschool songs is one of the very beneficial and meaningful activities for children. Besides helping children entertain themselves, these songs also contribute to developing language, music, creating a cheerful spirit, love for school, and helping children integrate into a new environment.
