1. Frère Jacques
Do you remember this tune from your time as a child? This
song takes a set of French lyrics and puts to a nice melody. Make sure to teach
your children the words in both English in French for an additional language
lesson.
2. Itsy Bitsy Spider
This timeless and fun kids’ song is wonderful because it
allows you to sing with your children while acting out the motions of the
spider traveling down the waterspout.
3. Hush Little Baby
This fun lullaby is a great tune to sing right before going
down for a nap, and will calm your child before he or she has sweet dreams.
4. Twinkle, Twinkle,
Little Star
This classic tune seems to never lose its magic. Try singing
this fun kids’ song with your children, or sit down at the piano and teach them
the melody for an advanced music lesson.
5. You Are My
Sunshine
‘You Are My Sunshine’ is not only a classic song of love,
but it is also Louisiana’s state song. The lyrics to this tune are simple and
the meaning is incredibly powerful.

Bus
Are you planning on taking a road trip anywhere in the near
future? Teach your children ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ before leaving home for a
fun way to pass the time as you head off to your next destination.

children the hand motions as well for a fun physical activity!

Lamb
