SierraNevada Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Jonathon Coulton- Washy and Jeffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Aroon Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 http://www.singnlearn.com/Item/330 I grew up singing these and was still singing it in my head on my US history tests in high school. Works like a charm. And there are a bunch of other great songs on the CD. The coloring book that comes with it is a little juvenile but I think a 6-year-old would like it.

blondeviolin Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think we are going to use the Animaniacs version and just tack on the last two (GWB and BO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 We like the one from the Brain Beats CD. You might be able to find it on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyroo Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Jonathon Coulton- The Presidents. If your kids are ready to sing about kicking asses, screwing the pooch, murdering children and Clinton giving an intern "a cigar". We stick to the Animaniacs around here.

FloridaLisa Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 We used to chant the American presidents. A couple years ago, a friend recommended singing the order of presidents to the tune of Yankee Doodle. By George, it worked amazingly! I ended up challenging all the kids in our co-op and I had 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds singing it! We still use it to quickly jog our memory. Here's but you can find lots on you tube.

The Bobby Soxer Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 i learned them to the tune of ten little indians. We did too! Years later it is still stuck in our heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraNevada Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 If your kids are ready to sing about kicking asses, screwing the pooch, murdering children and Clinton giving an intern "a cigar". We stick to the Animaniacs around here. Wendy Whoops. Very sorry to suggest the wrong song. Johnathon Coulton has two presidents songs and I assumed the wrong name of the one that is actually good for children to learn. The one my six year old child actually learned the lyrics to is called Washy and Jeffy. My DH listens to JCoulton so I have heard both songs and just got the titles mixed. Yeah, I don't want my six year old singing about Clinton giving an intern a cigar, even if he has no idea what it really means. Sorry about that. But the lyrics to Washy and Jeffy are clean and catchy and have helped me get the names in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventuresinHomeschooling Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have one I learned in school, but I can only sing it. Hard to type it, and I have no idea who might have sang it. But it has stuck with me for 20+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferA Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 We found a song on icompositions.com that is to the tune of the song that ends in "shave and a haircut, two bits." The kids love that part, and the rest of the song is really catchy too. We just had to add Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehave8 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Can't believe we did this over 2 years ago! We made our own ending since we had this song from the 80's! ETA: I see you can still get this from here. I wonder how they changed their ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
