During the current climate, and with the challenges we are all facing in the coming weeks and months, we want to do everything we can to make our resources available to you for use at home. Music has an extraordinary power to bring us together, it can lift us when we feel low, energise us when we feel tired, and is something we all have in common.

So, to help with the rhythms and routines of your new daily life, we are releasing seven songs, one for each day, all with challenges and activities related to each song. Every week for the next few weeks we will continue to add songs and resources.

Nursery Rhymes and Songs

BBC Teach > School Radio > EYFS

Animations of some of the best-known traditional nursery rhymes, many sung by BBC Children's TV presenters, with music that your children will love! They're an ideal resource to support a range of Early Years objectives, whether used in a nursery, reception class, or at home.


Primary Music - KS1 / KS2

BBC Teach > SchoolRadio

Key Stage 1 / Key Stage 2 / Age 5 - 11

Primary Music takes a cross-curricular approach, with music objectives explored in relation to popular infant topics or related areas of the curriculum. The content is ideal for the non-specialist teacher, offering a mix of materials chosen especially to appeal to each age group with clear instructions on how and what to do, and providing a term's worth of music activity. There are opportunities to sing, take part in music activities, appraise music, with suggestions for composition included in the comprehensive Teacher Notes.


Physical Education / Music KS1: Dance with the Elements

BBC Teach > Primary Resources > Physical Education KS1 / Music KS1

Dances for each of the four element have been choreographed to different pieces of classical music including JS Bach, Karl Jenkins, Aaron Copland, Johann Strauss, Claude Debussy and John Adams.

These clips are taken from the original BBC series, Dance with the Elements.

Suitable for: KS1 Physical Education and Music in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and Early and First Level in Scotland. Also, children with special educational needs.
