6 Circle Time Songs

January 27, 2020 By Sara Mullett Leave a Comment

Circle time is usually a highlight of any small child’s day at nursery or school, but it’s also a valuable opportunity for kids to learn and practice all sorts of useful things while sitting together in a relaxed and receptive mood.

While children usually enjoy an unstructured, free-play curriculum at nursery school and kindergarten, circle time is a great way to bring the group together and encourage them to take part in a shared activity. This is wonderful for building confidence and helps everyone get ready for big school.
