Music ideas with movement for preschoolers?

for my gym class, we get to teach 3-5 year olds. My partner sings and I play the flute, so we thought of doing something with music. Only issues is, that we need to get the kids moving? He really wants to teach them how to sing, and we can't come up with any ideas that we can use music and get them moving. Any ideas?

    Think of something else. Gym is not for singing.

    Acting as a Animal or Other Motion for the Song ex. Crawl like a Cat, Hop like a Kangaroo, Gallop like a Horse, Drive like Race Car or Twirl Like a Ballerina

    Gather Scarves and Dance with Them

    Do an Action or a Motion When you Hear a Certain Word ex. Clap, Stomp or Wave

    Freeze Dance

    you need to use some scarfs like each child has a scarf....you could do a repeating so they could sing

    like they stand and start of back and forth back and forth...say this over and over until they sing

    up and down and up and down....say this over and over again

    round and round round and round

    the girl who is singing has a scarf too doing all the motion

    you get the idea
