  • Introduction

    This site contains all the songs, games, lesson plans and crafts that we have created and use within our classes every week.

    We are particularly proud of our 32 amazing kindergarten songs for ESL Students, young learners and children of all ages. These songs have been tried, tested and enjoyed by kindergarten, preschool, elementary and international school children plus ESL students. The songs are all written and produced by The Magic Crayons, who are accomplished musicians working as professional qualified English language teachers. If you are planning a lesson to a theme, remember to check our Flash Cards, Crafts and Classroom Games pages too.

  • These catchy kindergarten songs are fantastic, high quality teaching tools with many satisfied Japanese Kindergartens and teaching staff. They particularly suit those learning English as a second language.

    All the children’s games, phonics activities, crafts and Dr. Seuss lesson plans have been written by ourselves.

    Let’s have fun learning English!

    Thank you - The Magic Crayons

The Magic Crayons Live Show in Tokyo, Japan 2010

  • Mr Tim of The Magic Crayons

    Mr Tim

    Hello everyone, I'm Mr. Tim from England.


    My home town is Birmingham, which is the biggest city after London. Its famous for Cadburys chocolate and curry. I have been in Japan since 2004 and I still enjoy it. I love the weather, food and beautiful old temples.


    In my spare time I listen to a lot of music. My friends are in a rock band called The Simones, who will be very famous one day! When they play live shows I often DJ for them.


    Currently I am a Teacher from the UK working in Japanese IB Schools - Kindergarten Teacher, Elementary Teacher, Middle School Design / ICT Teacher, Librarian. I created this website, all the artwork, videos and teaching materials within this website, Teachers Pay Teachers, YouTube, and Etsy. 

    Please do say hello if you see me and lets have fun learning English !

    Hello, my name is Bradley I'm from Dallas, Texas.

    I hope to be the Keith Richards of the band, though I am not as cool as him...but there is always the future.

    I have been teaching children and adults in Japan since 2005. I now run my own teaching company in Tokyo.

    Children singing our songs is a fantastic experience. I hope to see you singing soon !

    Hi my name is Dave and I have been playing guitar and singing in The Magic Crayons since they started in 2008.

    I came to Japan from England in 2004 and I have never looked back. I love this country and the people here, and I have been working as a kindergarten teacher of English to Japanese children all that time - and I still love the job!
