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

March 30, 2015 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. And of course the kids just can’t resist jumping up and joining in!

There is nothing like having a good dance. It’s something everyone can do together as it doesn’t need any special equipment or time to set up. Coupled with the added bonus that it’s very good for you and 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 great 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.
