Boom Play Circle time action songs playlist for your preschoolers

I have a love-hate relationship with circle time. First, I have to be animated, then I have to remember songs that I would rather not remember, It takes time for me to come into myself in the mornings and since our circle time is usually in the mornings it is so difficult to get myself in the zone.

I listened to someone on a homeschooling conference and she spoke about how creating a playlist for her kids (who are older) helps them get going in the morning and the light bulb hit me. I needed to create a playlist that will basically help us get moving and help our circle time.

If you are wondering what is circle time.

According to https://childrencentral.net/

Circle time is a time for important social interactions among young children. It helps develop positive relationships between kids through engaging and fun activities.

However in a homeschool setting it is different if you don't have multiple children, essentially it's just the time to set aside to interact with your child beyond "What do we have to do today" there is no limit to what you can do during circle time at the heart of it, it should be fun, engaging and something your child looks forward to and that is where singing and dancing comes into play.

Benefits of Circle time

We are not all gifted to be animated and to enjoy this part of the "job" so we get help. I have created a playlist on Boom play that has various action songs, it can be a starting point for your own list, you can also search on the app for other songs you might be interested in.

Homeschooling in a pandemic || You don't have to, do this instead

Let’s face it, we are all different and I know that there might be a lot of people out there trying to encourage you to homeschool your kids in this pandemic but homeschooling is not for everyone. As much as some people can try they just don’t have it in their bones, as much as some people can try they are just too exhausted to do it, as much as some people can try they just can’t juggle the demands of working from and homeschooling. Just like everything else, homeschooling is HARD !!! We have been thrown into a difficult situation all over the world and while we are struggling to be stable mentally, we have to deal with homeschooling too and working from home? Sigh!! I said you don’t have to homeschool in the sense of the word “Home” “school” you don’t need to have a table and chair, designated area or attending zoom classes for your younger kids to feel like you are keeping them engaged. You’d find that the work it takes for your to even keep them focused on the said vir...

Simple Homeschooling routine for toddlers || Homeschooling in Nigeria

This article was first written on FabMum Home-schooling in Nigeria is getting popular, but still not popular enough not to get the weird look when you say your child is not starting traditional school till 5. With more mums looking into the option of taking up the role of homeschooling their children for the first few years there is an absolutely need for support. I have had almost 2 years to research and find people with the interest in Nigeria to be comfortable enough to officially say “I am homeschooling my son” I officially started homeschooling this year and my son who is almost 2 years old is doing better than I thought. Although, we’ve been home together all his life and we have done so many activities together, I felt that this was going to be so different and difficult but just like everything in life it comes with its challenges but nothing not handle able (if that is a word) as I have discovered. As a stay at home mum who decides to home school your child after ...
