This study examines the current challenges in kindergarten music teaching that deviate from gamification principles, grounded in the conceptual framework and requirements of curriculum gamification. By integrating the physical and cognitive development patterns of 3-6-year-old children with the principles of music learning, the research analyzes existing issues. From five dimensions—teaching objectives, content design, implementation pathways, evaluation methods, and environmental setup—the paper explores concrete strategies for implementing curriculum gamification in music education. These strategies enable children to discover the beauty of music and enhance their musical literacy through playful experiences, ultimately achieving an organic integration of music education with the holistic development of young learners.Gamification of curriculum, Kindergarten, Music education, Implementation strategies, Early childhood development
