mom2bee Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Anyone have a playlist of educational songs that they love? I find sifting through Youtube is a vortex that keeps sucking me in too deep. I'm looking for songs that teach science, math facts and social sciences I like the Presidents songs off of Nickelodeon Kids pick the president and the 50 States That Rhyme. so far I'm not having luck with science songs... I can't seem to find much that isn't mostly geared towards Pre-K range (ABC's, animals, etc) but I'd love to find some songs that are really educational, will teach a lot of basic KNOWLEDGE that is usually learned by rote... They Might Be Giants is a big hit or miss for me from what I've heard of them so far...some of their stuff is (in my opinion) noisy/grating/nerve wracking....and I'm not sure where the education is, I see the pattern of what they're getting at, but I'm not sure how young kids would pull out the info that they are supposed to be learning...

Aurelia Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) All of the Horrible Histories songs are educational. My favorite is the kings and queens song, which covers all the English monarchs since Edward the Conqueror, minus Jane Grey. Lyrical Life Science and its companion Lyrical Earth Science might be what you're looking for as far as science songs go. Or would something like this be what you're looking for?

EmilyK Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Is there some way to get the horrible histories songs other than youtube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 They sell the DVDs at the Amazon UK site. I bought both series one and series two, you can select the scenes you want if you don't want to watch the entire episode, and they play just fine on my computer. I haven't found any place that has just the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily_Grace Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 TMBG is a favorite here. The kids love the videos that go along with them, too. Animaniacs put out some decent educational songs in their time: The Presidents Yakko's Universe Wakko's America Yakko's World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd LOVE to buy these DVDs, but the UK thing has kept me from doing so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramlingk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 We love the school house rock songs for grammar and history. We also like geography songs by Larry and Kathy Troxel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
