Friendship Songs
Celebrate the bonds of friendship with songs that highlight the power of connection to make us stronger, happier, and better!
Seasonal Songs
These songs bring each season to life and pair easily with scenes or scripts that reflect holidays, traditions, and the changing world around us.
Animal Songs
Hoo-Crunch-Doodle-Doo
Here’s a song that takes the sounds made by three animals, Ollie Owl, Sandy Squirrel, and Randy Rooster, and turns them into a fun song that kids love to sing! Each verse introduces the kids to a different character, until the last one that brings the sounds together in a super fun way – Hoo-Crunch-Doodle-Do! Perfect for scenes or scripts that bring animals to life—especially a fun rooster character.
Moto Monkey!
“Moto,” in the musical world, means motion, or movement. And the title character of this song earns his name and then some! Have a story to tell that is full of energy? This is the song for you – it even speeds up as it goes along, which illustrates its point and has kids and audiences alike bopping right along!
Hello Songs
We have a hello song for every month of the year! Open your class with a consistent, welcoming routine that sets the perfect tone for your class from the moment the students arrive.
These songs do more than just say hello. Each one weaves in seasonal themes like autumn leaves or flowers blooming, setting the perfect tone for fun and learning.
Here is a sweet hello song welcoming the students back to school after a long break. This song will take your class on a “rhythm retreat” by clapping their hands and tapping their feet!
This short but sweet little tune will help your youngest learners usher in the month of February! It gets the kids’ bodies moving and shaking while also practicing the solfege scale.
This song uses movement to help your students usher in the month of March and learn the old proverb that March comes in like a lion but goes out like a lamb.
With lyrics that highlight blooming flowers, buzzing bees, and singing birds, this song invites young learners to embrace the wonder of the season.
This is a sweet, simple movement hello song that incorporates rhythms through body percussion, while celebrating the wonders of the month of May!
This hello song is all about starting fresh, reconnecting with friends, and remembering that there’s a time to be quiet and a time to let it all out!
This October Hello Song welcomes the season with swirling leaves, glowing pumpkins, and the excitement of costumes and play!
This upbeat Hello Song brings the season to life through catchy lyrics, a cheerful melody, and a sense of togetherness your students will feel from the very first verse.
"What I Love About December” is a sweet, mid-tempo folk song that captures the specific joy of the season without being frantic or overwhelming.
Special Addition
Tongue Twister Tempo
Classic tongue twisters put singers to the test in this playful and fun-filled tune! It’s hard enough to say “Sally sells sea shells by the seashore…” Now try it three times in a row. Now faster…and faster! The results are hilarious in this toe-tapping tune that tremendously teaches tempo too! See what we did there?
