Musical Games for Early Years

Collections Songs for Learning

Bring energy, structure and creativity into your classroom with Songs for Learning, a collection that uses music to support literacy, wellbeing and daily routines. Designed for early years and primary settings, these resources help students learn through singing, movement and play—making key concepts memorable and engaging.

Across a range of video, audio tracks and lesson guides, students explore phonemic awareness, storytelling and social-emotional skills. Resources like The Tree and the Key and The Shoe and the Clue build early literacy through imaginative, arts-rich experiences, while Musical Games and Transition Songs support collaboration, classroom routines and positive behaviour. Harmonic Shift extends learning into wellbeing, using music to explore resilience and emotional expression.

Each resource includes ready-to-use lesson plans, backing tracks, lyrics and activity ideas, allowing teachers to quickly integrate music into everyday learning.

Aligned to The Australian Curriculum: The Arts (Music) with strong links to English and Personal and Social Capability, Songs for Learning offers busy teachers a practical, engaging way to enhance learning through the power of music.
