Circle Time gently guides children from busy activity into a calm, shared moment together. As the familiar melody begins, children naturally gather, choose a cushion, and settle, ready for songs, story and conversation. Rather than asking children to stop one activity and start another, the song creates a gentle bridge between the two.
Marla’s Tip - I sing this song every day when it’s time to gather the children for circle time. Before long, children begin recognising the melody as their cue to choose a cushion, settle comfortably and become part of the group as we enjoy some seasonal songs, favorite songs, and a short seasonal story together told with props.
Circle time isn’t simply about sitting together. It’s about creating a sense of belonging. Beginning with a familiar song helps children enter the activity feeling calm, included, and ready to participate.
