Welcome to The Melodies in Motion Song Page

Hi! - So happy you have chosen to use The Melodies with the preschool kids in your life! This curriculum is for you to use in the classroom, at home as an activity, youth groups or even with playdates. 

Each song has a full web page full of materials to use. They are listed as a STEP BY STEP class that in all takes about hour, but you can do each activity separately if you wish or what fits your organization.  

​Here to help if you have any questions. Feel free to email me at:  [email protected]

* I have focused my time on creating content and updating my materials the past few years, so my social media is not currently active, but I can get messages on my Patreon page @ Patreon.com/MissJeannine

Thank you for bringing Harmony to the World ~ starting with our amazing kids!


Enjoy!
