Preschool movement and creative movement are about getting your preschool children to
express themselves through movement using their own creativity and imagination. Creative
movement activities can be used indoors or outdoors, with music or without music.
The important thing to remember is that there is really no right or wrong way for the preschool
children or kindergarten children to express themselves. It is after all, an outlet for preschool
children and kindergarten kids to move and express themselves in a way that they interpret and
feel comfortable doing.
Let them use their creativity and imaginations to move as they desire when participating
increative movement activities within the preschool or kindergarten class.

2. Creative Movement Activity for Kids:
I’ve Been Working on the Railroad:
Use the fun children’s music “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” with this creative preschool
movement activity in your classroom.Kid’s are fascinated with trains, locomotives and all the
workings of a train and what might be involved.
With the song playing in the background have the kids move around to the music. Some
preschool children will pretend they are ‘working on the railroad’ like the song says. Other
preschool or kindergarten children will move like trains, or other things you may ask them
about regarding trains.
You may ask how do trains move?
What noises do trains make?
Do trains move fast or slow?
What do people working on the trains do? Etc..
The use of an engineer’s hat may put kids in the driver’s seat when pretending to be operating
a train. The idea of creative movement activities is to keep them just that – creative!
This shouldn’t be a problem for the children or preschoolers as kids usually have pretty good
imaginations and will be coming up with all sorts of creative movement and ideas on how they
want to move with the song ‘I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.’
Creative movement activities are great ways to get kids up and moving doing physical activities.
Creative movement also develops creativity, use of imagination and builds on social skills in
classroom settings.
