[Music Play] Children’s Recreational Music: Rec Songs You Can Sing and Play

Deputy Editor of RAG MUSICSasashina
Deputy Editor of the web media RAG MUSIC. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. In my student days, I studied broadly at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, covering sound, lighting, and video technology, and acquired skills from comprehensive stage production to the fundamentals of creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, and have consistently built my career on the production side, taking on diverse tasks centered around music. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting in my own way, as well as insights and discoveries from interacting with my kids every day. I hope I can be of help to you, even just a little!

We’re introducing playful songs and recreation songs that you can enjoy with children!

We’ve gathered a wide variety—from classic folk dance and campfire songs to rounds, hand-play songs, and playful tunes perfect for bus activities.

They’re all songs that everyone will say, “I’ve heard this before!” so you can use them for recreation with confidence.

The folk dance songs also come with choreography tutorial videos, so please use them as a reference.

Let’s sing together and have a wonderful time!

Using Bing Crosby’s hit song “McNamara’s Band” as the original, Masao Tomioka wrote lyrics and arranged it as a camp song to be sung at Nojiri Gakuso, a long-term camp run by the Tokyo YMCA.

It was broadcast on “Minna no Uta” in 1965.
