Have Fun Teaching

120 episodes

Have Fun Teaching makes short, singable songs that put one classroom skill to a beat. This collection gathers the catalog's core skill songs for the youngest grades: skip counting by one through twelve, counting up and down, comparing numbers, prime numbers, naming and classifying shapes, the parts of speech, sentence types, cause and effect, and graded sight-word drills from preschool through third grade. A social-emotional and healthy-habits set rounds it out, covering feelings, manners, mistakes, brushing teeth, and washing hands. Reach for one as a two-to-five-minute warm-up, transition, or review that a whole room can sing along with.
