French Can-Can Song – Classical Music To Get Kids Moving

October 18, 2022 By Sara Mullett Leave a Comment

This little song set to the traditional French Can-Can music by Offenbach is just what you need to get everyone moving. Of course kids just can’t resist jumping up and joining in so it’s great one for blowing off some steam!

There is nothing like having a good dance and luckily it’s something everyone can do together, it doesn’t need any special equipment or time to set up. With the added bonus that it’s very good for you and such great fun too!

French Can-Can – Classical Music To get Kids Moving

Oh can you do the can-can?

Oh can you do the can-can?

Kick your legs up in the air,

Jumping, jumping, jumping, jumping,

Can-can in the morning,

Can-can in the evening,

Can-can up and can-can down,

Can-can all day long!

 

Working Out The Wiggles

The French Can-Can song is such a fun way to introduce children to Classical music. The Can-Can is such an exuberant piece of music it can harness the energy of any boisterous toddler.

But there is so much fantastic music to choose from and there’s a perfect piece for every occasion (see the links below for some listening inspiration).

Classical music helps kids to develop and explore their imaginations and sensitivity often before they can express themselves with words. Especially as they can soak up all the other educational benefits it brings at the same time. Check out Classical Music To Teach Emotions for some more inspiration with this.
