Musical Activities for Kids during COVID19

With schools shut down during coronavirus (COVID19), you may be looking for ways to keep your kids busy and happy. Here are some fun and easy musical ideas: 

1. Action Songs for Kids: Here's a YouTube Playlist of 14 Action Songs for Kids. You can watch and sing them with your kids, or if you need a break, plonk your little ones down and let them sing and follow along with the actions. 

2. Spotify Playlists: If you have Spotify, pop on these family friendly playlists: 

✨ Good Morning Vibes: {This one is just as much for parents as it is for kids!} Start your day on the right foot with these positive, uplifting tunes. I listen to this almost every morning to get myself in a high vibe and happy mood. With all of the stress and fear we're prone to feel right now, it's important to be proactive and get ourselves in a good state of mind (for our emotional AND physical wellbeing). Listening to positive, upbeat songs is one of the best ways I know how to do this. 

✨ Educational Songs for Children: Music makes everything easier to remember! Teach your kids the ABCs, colours, letter sounds, days of the week, months of the year, and more. Your kids will absorb the information as they listen. {AGES 0-6}

✨ Dance Party for Kids: In my house, the best way to get a dance party going is to press play on this playlist and CRANK IT! This is one of my favourite activities to do with my boys (5 and 7). BONUS TIP: play "Freeze Dance". Every few minutes, press pause during a song and get your kids to FREEZE in whatever position they're in! Get them moving again when you press play. See who can stay still the longest (or not if this causes fights!) 

✨ Love Songs for Kids: These calm folk songs will help you and your kids feel loved and connected. Perfect to play in the background during a quiet activity like colouring or legos. 

3. Affirmation Audio: Play this affirmation audio (on YouTube) I created for your kids as they lie down to go to sleep. The calming music and positive affirmations will help your children feel relaxed and safe. 

4. PAY WHAT YOU CAN Digital Products: All of my digital products, including the Make Music With Kids ebook, MP3s of my songs and MORE are at a special *PAY WHAT YOU CAN* price. All of the funds raised through these digital products go towards my crowdfunding campaign for my second Children's album. Click here to see how you can bring more musical activities and positivity into your family's routine.
