5 Musical Circle Games for Summertime

April 23, 2020 By Sara Mullett 6 Comments

These 5 musical Circle Games for Summertime are an excellent way to get everyone playing and singing together and in the Summer there is nothing nicer than getting the kids outside to make the most of the good weather and enjoy the sunshine.

There are many other benefits too;  learning to follow rules and directions, socialising in a group and they’re so good for confidence building. The good thing is that no special equipment is needed, other than a bit of space so they’re great for the playground or park.

Children really love these old favourites which have been handed down to us over the generations and it’s lovely to continue this simple tradition.

    Yay, it’s so great to find kids music posts out there! I am a “musical” mom and love to sing and dance with my kids but often forget how much kids love those circle games. I need to get the kids to do some of these the next time we have a group together! Found you on the Saturday Evening Family Friendly Free For All link up. Thanks for sharing!
