Exercise Songs for Preschoolers Part 4

Preschoolers are slightly more energetic than the toddlers, and therefore they have the tendency to exhibit more physical strength and enthusiasm for outdoor playground equipment. With a little bit more energy, preschoolers can have an advanced exercise routine along with cheerful exercise songs that not only challenge their physical abilities, but also let them develop profound mental capacities. Be low are some of the most joyful exercise songs that you can sing along with your preschoolers while exercising.

This song will give kids the heavy  work out that can also be used as a warm up routine. Exercise songs can sometimes be more effective than the activity on commercial playground equipment or any other play structure for that matter.

Here’s another song that you can use with the same set of exercise routine.

Rhythm of the Sway (by The Battersby Duo)

Dancing makes you feel so free
Raise up your arms and dance with me
Turn around and swirl this way
You’ve got the rhythm of the sway

March in place and feel the beat
You just can’t help but move your feet
Clap your hands and come and play
You’ve got the rhythm of the sway

You’ve got the rhythm of the sway
Dancing makes you feel this way
Kick your feet it makes you smile
Spin around and show your style

Now let’s see what you can do
Shake your head and count to two
Move it now and every day
Move to the rhythm of the sway

You’ve got the rhythm of the sway
Dancing makes you feel this way
Kick your feet it makes you smile
Spin around and show your style

You can define your own set of routine for the above two songs. Just remember that every verse should create maximum physical work for your child so that he can get the workout he needs for physical strength.
