[Preschool] Recommended choral pieces for 3-year-olds

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherDr. Chick
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

In nursery schools and kindergartens, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone to sing together—not just during daily activities, but also at events like recitals and music festivals.

Choral singing is a wonderful activity: children can feel the joy of singing, strengthen their sense of unity with friends, and deepen their interest in seasons and events.

We’d like to incorporate a variety of songs so that children grow fond of music and come to love singing.

So this time, we’re introducing recommended choral songs for 3-year-olds (the youngest class).

We’ve gathered lots of lively, energetic pieces that suit 3-year-olds, along with many cute songs.

Find a lovely piece that matches your class’s character, and have fun singing together!

[Tensai TV] Macaroni Enpitsu theme song 'Nectarine' MV (Vocals: TV Warriors / Choreography: yurinasia) | 2025 Edition [Tensai TV-kun] | NHK

Nectarine TV Warrior

This song was created as the theme for NHK Educational TV’s popular program “Tensai TV-kun.” It vividly expresses the mindset of valuing children’s senses and intuition, set to a bright, pop melody.

With warm vocals by Macaroni Enpitsu and fun choreography by yurinasia, the piece achieves a wonderful harmony.

It’s also included on the album “Otona no Namida,” and is performed on the show alongside the energetic dance routines of the TV Warriors.

As a song you can dance to freely with kids, it’s perfect for music time at nursery schools and kindergartens, or for dance segments at sports days.

Carrying a message about cherishing one’s individuality, it’s also recommended as a theme song for various events.

In conclusion

We introduced some choral songs perfect for three-year-olds.

There were lots of tunes that make you want to sing out loud with tons of energy.

Gentle, soothing melodies are lovely too, but we’d love to channel the unique, overflowing energy of three-year-olds into their singing voices! Adding simple choreography or hand claps would be really cute as well.

Through chorus, we hope they’ll feel the joy of singing together with friends.
