皆さん、こんにちは。カナダの日本人保育士Tomokaです。
今日はお久しぶりの、歌のご紹介いってみたいと思います！歌の中にも、歌だけで終わるのもあれば、曲に合わせてダンスするものなど、色々ありますよね。今日は動く系の歌のご紹介です。
サークル上に色々な動きを入れながら移動します。場所が許すならサークルタイムの最初や終わりにみんなで踊るといいと思います。みんなでwe all fall downするの、けっこう子どもたちにウケています。
Walk around the circle. Walk around the circle. Walking walking. We all fall down.
Gallop. Gallop around the circle. Gallop around the circle. Galloping galloping. We all fall down.
Shh… Let’s tiptoe. Tiptoe around the circle. Tiptoe around the circle. Tiptoe tiptoe. We all fall down.
I’m so sleepy! Sleepy sleepy sleepy. I’m so sleepy. Wake up, everybody!
Come on, we’re going to hop! Hop around the circle. Hop around the circle. Hopping hopping. We all fall down.
Let’s twirl! Twirl around the circle. Twirl around the circle. Twirling twirling. We all fall down.
Let’s hop AND twirl! Hop around the circle. Twirl around the circle. Hopping, twirling. We all fall down.
私はこの曲を使う時もサークルの形でやっていたりします。最後のRun!は少し気を付けないといけないので、大きく叫ばないことと、押したり走り回ったりはしないように子どもたちに伝えてから、みんなで楽しみます。色々な動きが出てくるので、楽める一曲です。
Let’s take a walk in the jungle.
Walking in the jungle. Walking in the jungle. We’re not afraid. We’re not afraid.
Walking in the jungle. Walking in the jungle. We’re not afraid. We’re not afraid.
One step. Two steps. Three steps forward. One step. Two steps. Three steps back.
Stop. Listen. What’s that? It’s a frog! We’re not afraid!
Let’s stomp.
Stomping in the jungle. Stomping in the jungle. We’re not afraid. We’re not afraid.
Stomping in the jungle. Stomping in the jungle. We’re not afraid. We’re not afraid.
One step. Two steps. Three steps forward. One step. Two steps. Three steps back.
Stop. Listen. What’s that? It’s a monkey! We’re not afraid!
Let’s jump.
Jumping in the jungle. Jumping in the jungle. We’re not afraid. We’re not afraid.
Jumping in the jungle. Jumping in the jungle. We’re not afraid. We’re not afraid.
One step. Two steps. Three steps forward. One step. Two steps. Three steps back.
Stop. Listen. What’s that? It’s a toucan! We’re not afraid!
Let’s skip.
Skipping in the jungle. Skipping in the jungle. We’re not afraid. We’re not afraid.
Skipping in the jungle. Skipping in the jungle. We’re not afraid. We’re not afraid.
One step. Two steps. Three steps forward. One step. Two steps. Three steps back.
Stop. Listen. What’s that? It’s a tiger!
RUN!
ペンギンの動きが超可愛いこのダンス。小さい子どもたちがやると本当に可愛いです。

ちなみに、ダンスはこちらの動画を参考に。初めはこの動画でダンスを覚えました。簡単なので、子どもたちもすぐ覚えます。
今回は、久しぶりに歌の紹介をしてみました。保育士になる前の学生の時や保育士になりたての時は、とにかく歌を知らなさ過ぎて、かなり困っていたのが懐かしい…。そんな人たちの手助けに少しでもなれたらいいな、と思いつつまた楽しい歌をこれからも届けていきたいなと思います。
