The aim of the study was to assess the body language based on musical listening and representation and bodily expression of children from kindergarten, based on the relationship between the music box and the free expression as a form of language and communication. Regarding the methodology used, it was a qualitative-descriptive study with the registration of the body language of each child. Children who participated in the activities were at an average age of five years - Kindergarten II - Class with 18 children (in the afternoon) of Early Childhood Education, after parental consent. As a conclusion it was observed that when contemplating the free expression of the children’s bodies, when they express themselves they may develop more fully and joyfully, making it possible to relate the external dimension with the stimulus and the internal dimension, feeling what they are from the senses and meanings of their identities and increasing their sense of belonging.
