Fun Songs for Kids

The one thing kids lack a lot of the time is attention. This is normal because very often we expect kids to think along the same lines as us, and that is just going a little far.

Fun songs for kids are an easy way to entertain little ones

You just have to put it into perspective and realize you are dealing with a three year old or a five year old. You may be in your thirties or forties. Now, that is a big gap. The brain is taking in a lot of information at this stage.

Music Hath Charms

One way to keep the happy balance in the home is to implement fun songs for kids, which can be found all over the place. School teachers know exactly what to do when they need to take control of the class. Music is the answer.

Those eyes will immediately start to widen up with curiosity and excitement as the songs start to play. You don’t need to do anything, simply put the disc in, and watch your son or daughter’s mood change in an instant.

You have probably seen busy moms with their kids out and about and as soon as one of the little ones start to perform, it is usually a song that calms them down. Often you kids find comfort through their tears by hearing the words of their favorite song, and suddenly they start singing as if they are in another place.

Everyone remembers at least one song from when they were a little tot. Sing-a-long-songs are probably one of the best that you could think of because they are so catchy. This is where the actions come in and things can become even more upbeat.

At this age kids are not self-conscious about their voice or what they sound like, like many adults are. If they are enjoying themselves, they will shout the words out with a lot of joy. Sometimes it can even be a competition between a couple of youngsters to see who has the loudest voice.

It’s a good idea to encourage this because it builds confidence. As a teacher, teaching kids English in a foreign country, you might think where, in fact, you start. However, by jumping around, teaching the kids to do the actions, whilst you have music playing in the background, you will be on course. This music is hopefully catchy and a lot of kids start to learn the language in this way.

Top Songs for Kids

Here are a couple of songs to get you started:

Soon you will have some of these stuck in your head and a song or two will suddenly come out unexpectedly whilst you are making the dinner.

• "Down by the Bay"
• "The Duck Song"
• "Five Little Monkeys"
• "I’m a Little Teapot"
• "The Bus Goes Round and Round"
• "The Pirate Song"

There are a lot more of fun songs for kids on YouTube. But if you are one of those panicky people, then just stop – because you will have music all around you. This is one thing that you won’t have to do any research for.
