Flocabulary

203 episodes

Flocabulary builds each topic around an original hip-hop song and animated music video, then hangs vocabulary cards and activities off it on the topic page. The elementary catalog here leans toward drilled fundamentals, including an addition and subtraction series that walks number by number from 2 and 3 all the way up through 17, alongside social studies staples like the fifty states and capitals, a run-through of the presidents, and poems on the language-arts side. The song does the teaching, and the words stick because they rhyme. Most of the library sits behind a Flocabulary subscription, so check your school access first.
