In the song playlists for teachers, I try to include something for everyone. However, many of those songs are geared more toward adolescents and adults.posted by Catharine Hannay
So here's a whole list with only songs that are appropriate for young children... although the rest of us would also benefit from belly breathing with Elmo!
Note: Parents and teachers, as always please watch the full video yourself before sharing it with kids. There's nothing I would consider at all offensive, but with such an international/multicultural/multifaith audience, I can't guarantee that every single image in all of the videos will be appropriate for your context.
