Circle time’s not engaging? You might be missing something.
You’re already showing up. You’re already trying. The piece most teachers never get handed is music and movement, used with intention. Once you see it, circle time changes completely.
Whether you want one free idea a week or everything done for you, there’s a place to start here.
I walked into my first classroom with three activities and no plan.
They lasted about five minutes. What saved me was music and movement, two tools most teachers never get taught to use on purpose. Once I figured out how, kids came to the circle faster, stayed longer, and actually learned.
I’ve spent the years since turning what works into tools any teacher can pick up and use, no music background required. And I’m still in classrooms every week.

“I am teaching both in person and virtual. Half of my classroom is on IEP services. One is completely blind. He loves music and is thriving because of the songs you have taught me. Thank you for your support. Thank you for mentoring and caring so much about teachers.”Jana, Preschool Teacher
