Music Resources for Refugee Week
Added to website 04/06/2025.
Music Action International are pleased to share our music resources for Refugee Week (and beyond). Use this pack in your classroom to fulfil KS2 Music, PSHE, Geography and Language curriculum areas, while learning about different refugee cultures through games and songs!
This pack has been created for use in the classroom, to introduce your pupils to musicians from refugee backgrounds sharing simple, fun and educational call-and-response activities and songs from around the world.
Each section has an accompanying video that you can play in the classroom, as well as additional musical learning and development with your pupils through lyrics sheets, backing tracks and interesting facts about different cultures. It has been designed to explore the languages and cultures of refugees, foster global citizenship and celebrate human stories.
Start with activities and songs first, then talk about refugees. This way children can meet refugees as people first, with interesting and fun things to share and that war is not the only thing associated with their culture.
