'Seven days of the week' | Lyric video to learn the days and explain the origins of their names

(0)
Great song to help learn the names of the days of the week. The song also explains the origins of the names of the days (in English). One of them is named after THOR! The last part of the song is a test to see if children can remember the seven days. They start dropping off and the children have to fill them in by shouting them out. Lyrics are embedded in the video. Lyrics sheet is included

'Everybody's body is different'. Parts of the body/Get moving song. Lyrics and video

Everybody’s body is different. It’s true! Celebrate your difference with this lively, fun song all about the bits of the body. Grab your knees - give them a squeeze! Touch your chin - give me a grin! That’s the idea. This is a great song to get children moving and doing actions. Raise the energy levels! Ask the children if that are any parts of the body that do not have a name. See if they can make their own body rhymes (knees/squeeze. chin/grin, etc).

Lyrics, video and mp3 for this catchy Halloween song. Perfect for children of all ages. Sing along with the simple call-and-response choruses. Easy to add actions. Do the actions to the bodily transformations in the verses: hop like a frog, flap like a bat, wiggle like a worm!

Check out my simple catchy Xmas song ‘LITTLE SPIDERS’, perfect for young children to learn and sing. It’s all about how spiders helped a widow and her poor family by spinning webs on Xmas night to make tinsel. This folk tale is popular in the Ukraine, Poland, Germany and other countries in Eastern Europe. Merry Christmas. Wesołych Świąt. щасливого Різдва. Fröhliche Weihnachten.
'When I'm Older': Growing-up song and video

'When I'm Older': Growing-up song and video

(0)
‘When I’m Older’ is all about hoping, wishing, growing up and having birthdays. Ultimately, it’s about looking to the future with optimism. It’s a list song that details what the narrator wants to happen ‘when I’m older’. It works just as well for the child as it does for the adult. What do the children in your life want to do when they are older? It starts sensible: ‘I’m gonna reach up and turn on the light’. It gets a bit wilder as it goes on: ‘I’m gonna go to work with my robot friends. Take a trip ‘round the Moon again. Climb up Big Ben’. The music is upbeat, danceable, mid-‘60s Motown.

‘Thank You’ is a gratitude song to say ‘thank you’ to someone who has helped you out. The video features Owen Brindley, a superstar of song signing. He’s signing next to me, Johnny, to make sure everyone is included. Children can learn to sign ‘thank you’ by watching the video. The song is designed for children to sing along - the lyrics are included.

‘I need space to make mistakes’: Colourful animated video of a groovy song about learning and the three things you need in order to learn - space, time and making mistakes. It’s about taking that journey from ‘I don’t know’ to ‘Now I understand’ It mentions how you might need some help to learn. It’s the perfect motivator for anyone trying learn anything. Get the kids moving and dancing while thinking about their learning journey!

This song goes through each season describing what happens to the weather, the animals, etc. Johnny, the male singer, says grumpy things about each season. Sarah, the female singer, is upbeat and says positive things.

Every day of the week you will learn an exciting thing about being a pirate. Get ready to do the actions and sing along. Oh, and don’t forget to dance like a pirate! Perfect for sea-themed activity for younger children. Simple enough to teach it for a performance. Great as a mood-changer or to raise the energy level in the classroom.

'Recycling'. Funny and fast song for children. Lyrics included

(0)
Fun song and video to help children learn about the things that can be recycled or reused. Watch it in class as a fun interlude or as part of a project. I would suggest that most children of 12 or under would enjoy this. Contains clips from a number of recycling videos currently on YouTube including the Peppa Pig episode. I did some research as to what can actually be recycled. Some were surprising. There are also some funny ones in there (‘tunes and notes … daddy’s old jokes’). Look out for a guest appearance by Prof. Brian Cox!

'Say "Hello"' - A 90 second blast of pure melodic energy. Great lesson starter!

(0)
‘Say “Hello”’ is a fast poppy song packed with positive messages. It’s a 90 second blast of pure melodic energy. Use is as a lesson starter to get attention and boost the energy level of your classroom. Use it as your walk-on music. Boxers and pop stars have walk-on music. Why not teachers? It’s got simple words and lots of repetition that makes it easy for children to learn and sing along. It’s also got a cool lyrics and graphics video on YouTube that will help with literacy. The second verse is uplifting: ‘Open your eyes and see the colours. Open your heart and let love flow. Open your arms and throw them around the world, and say hello, hello, hello’, etc.
