Welcome to the New Site
Looking for some movement activities for spring? Thinking about starting your class with a movement activity? Are U CRAZY? Probably! I’ll put a movement activity on the screen and as soon as I’ve gathered my students into the classroom, I turn on the song and get moving. Movement activities for spring can help students transition to music class, motivate tired testers and uplift you- yes YOU- the teacher. That’s why I’m always either creating or searching for movement activities for spring.
I’m sharing six movement activities for spring music class. Some of these resources are FREEBIES and some are brand new resources I’ve made this year.
In addition, there’s also links to other blog posts where you can find more ideas and materials for your spring music classes.
I know my students love bugs, and so I created some bug themed movement activities.

Movement activities are perfect for your preschool and primary grade students.
You’ll find that movement activities give your children the chance to play games, learn to work together, take turns and develop their movement skills.
Furthermore, you can help your students connect nature with music and movement.
Similarly, you can help them connect concepts with music and movement.
BUGGY BEAN BAG ACTIVITIES are perfect for the music and preschool classrooms.
In other words, anything with “bugs” in it is going to be a success. All you’ll have to do is show students the “bug” pictures and then play a fun bean bag game.
Surely you’ll be able to help all students connect music and movement skills.
After all, we want to help them develop gross and fine motor skills too!

In addition, I was thinking how to set the stage for my buggy activities and I came up with the idea to use a classical selection to set the scene.
Furthermore, since the bugs are all flying, hopping and swooping through flower gardens, I felt like this music would give us a good setting of a garden.
Here’s some YouTube selections of classical music that I’ll be using with my buggy movement activities for spring.

As well as being a “spring” song, students would enjoy the duet. In fact, you could ask them to move “high” and “low” during the respective sections of the song.

And now it’s time for some buzzing, swooping, flying, swishing and . . .

Perhaps it’s raining? All the bugs scurry and hide beneath the leaves or to the hive.
And more buzzing!
Likewise, although titled “Morning”, Edvard Grieg: “Peer Gynt – Morning Mood” LINK would make a nice interlude between “busy” bug activities.
I’m thinking that the bugs have found their favorite flowers and now are resting before they begin collecting more honey, or pollen.
Little bugs, it’s now time to rest for tomorrow brings a new day to fly!
(Can you tell I love these kinds of activities?)
Thanks for reading about my movement activities for spring. I hope you got some great ideas on how to help students with the wiggles this spring.
