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.

Fun, interactive song for young children. The audio file is a rough home demo. The lyrics and chords are included on the Word document. The lyrics encourage participation, e.g. howling like a Werewolf, flying like a Witch, crawling like a spider, etc. Feel free to make up your own actions for other spooky characters!

'I Follow My Dreams': Empowering song and fun video

(0)
‘I Follow my Dreams’ is a simple song full of hope, optimism, resilience and determination. It’s a perfect song for children to listen to (and hopefully sing, when it’s safe to do so) in the new year Follow your dreams no matter what life throws at you. ‘I’m never going to let them get away’, sings the narrator of the song. ‘When troubles come along, I’m going to face them day after day’. The song stresses the need to follow your dreams, not someone else’s: ‘I know what’s good for me’, sings the spirited and assertive protagonist. So, as the song says, open up your arms and embrace your dreams. Hold them in your heart where they belong.

‘A Song Full of Hope’ is an upbeat anthem to optimism. It’s a simple catchy song that explores issues of hope, resilience and co-operation - standing strong and moving along. The video features Owen Brindley, a superstar of song signing. The Makaton and BSL signing and sub-titles are there and to make sure the song is as inclusive as possible.

This rocking and rolling Halloween song will get you singing, dancing and doing the actions! Perfect for schools! Nothing scary here. Just some cool witches ready to turn you into a frog, or a bat or a worm. Watch out! Here are the words so get singing. I wish I was a witch. I wish I was a witch. With a big tall hat and a cute black cat. And a big broomstick. I wish I was a witch. One swish of my cloak is gonna make you croak. When I wave my wand you’ll be in my pond. When I tap on a log you’ll turn into a frog. I wish I was a witch … We got spells and potions. We’ve got two-for-one promotions. We got a cauldron too to make a thick green stew And when you drink some of that you’ll turn into a bat We got a bad reputation, but witches are a wonderful creation. Sisters gotta stick together. If men laugh we say ‘whatever’ I’m gonna make you squirm. Turn you into a worm. I wish I was a witch. I wish I was a witch. I wish I was a witch.

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

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. 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).
