French Hello Song “Bonjour” with MP3
Monday, June 8th, 2009Hello songs are a wonderful way to help children who are learning a foreign language. It’s also nice for children to always sing the same song at the beginning of a class. Hello songs are great for this.
The song below is called “Bonjour”. It’s a French hello song written and sung by Alain Le Lait. Sit back and enjoy the song by clicking the MP3 below. You can read along with the lyrics in French, followed by an English translation by Alain…
Bonjour
(French Lyrics)Bonjour, bonjour
Comment ça va?
Bonjour, bonjour
Très bien, merci
Je suis content d’être ici
Avec tous mes petits amis

With all my little friends

For being here.The French and English lyrics to this “Bonjour” song are © 2003 Alain Le Lait.

Can Anyone Help with a Russian Childrens Music CD?
Friday, May 22nd, 2009Chris wrote:
Hi my name is D. I’m on a mission to find Russian children’s songs. I found your page on the web and liked what I saw. I’m looking to make a CD of Russian children’s songs for personal use. I’ll explain why.
My mom is a foster mom for medically fragile kids (wheelchair and medical miracle kids). she has adopted many handicapped children and is currently going through the process of adopting a 7 yr old boy from Russia. he has severe handicaps that have been complicated over the years by medical experiments gone wrong. she’s a great mom and truly has a heart for these kids. she leaves soon for her first trip to meet him.
Since i have my hands full with my family, i can’t contribute much to her, but would like to show my support for what she is doing. i would love to have a CD of Russian kid’s songs for her to take with her so she can start working at bonding with her new son.
I lack the knowledge of how to obtain such a CD and am looking for help. Your page off google was the best I’ve seen and it really got my hopes up that i can do what I’m looking to do. please help me.
Thank you,
D ChrisHere’s what I found so far…
I found one cd on Amazon of Russian kids songs at:
Children Songs – Constellation of the Hits vol. 2 (in Russian)
If anyone can recommend any other Russian kids cd’s, or if you can help out D., please let us know in the comments below…
Thanks!

Spanish Wrangler: Great Music for Exposing Kids to Spanish
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009The Spanish Wrangler sings really fun music for kids! The songs are mainly in English, but they’re peppered with Spanish words and phrases. Most of the songs tell a story – which children love. What a great way to expose kids to the Spanish language!
The Wrangler’s music is cool. You feel like you’re sauntering in a Western town. I thought it had a bit of a bluesy feel to it. So I asked the Spanish Wrangler how he would classify his music. He said, “a word I’ve seen used (and sometimes use myself) to describe my stuff is ‘roots-based.’ I think that signals that the songs are blues & country with some folk thrown in…” The folk is where the stories come from.
Check out the Wrangler singing in the song below (he’s great with the children!). You can see how he teaches Spanish words…
You can hear the whole song, plus others, on his site at Spanish Wrangler.
Here’s a link to buy the Spanish Wrangler’s CD’s.
Thanks to Wil Thomas aka the Spanish Wrangler for sharing his music with us!

Zooglobble Counting Down Top 50 Songs
Monday, April 30th, 2007Zooglobble is another blog to check out if you’re interested in children’s music. In it, Stefan Shepherd reviews lots of children’s musical CD’s.
He’s also been rating the top 50 children’s songs. His latest, songs 6 – 10, were Mary Had a Little Lamb, I’ve Been Working on the Railroad, Down by the Bay, Itsy Bitsy Spider and Freight Train. Can’t wait to see what his top 5 favorites are!
Super Simple Songs CD
Monday, November 6th, 2006The CD Super Simple Songs 2 is great for young kids who are learning the words and hand motions that go with many popular English songs. It’s also ideal for kids who are learning English as a second language. It has a slow version and a fast version to several songs like The Eensy Weensy Spider and The Wheels on the Bus. The slow version is for learning the song and then kids get the chance to hear the song, and eventually sing it, at it’s normal tempo.
My 5 year old daughter and I particularly like The Eensy Weensy Spider. It has a verse you sing with very slowly, in a low voice: Instead of “eensy weensy spider”, sing “big, big, spider”.
I think this is a great idea that you could use with other songs too – change the pitch and speed, and use the opposite word of what’s in the song. It teaches kids about pitch, opposites, and keeps them on their toes all at once! Even better, it makes it fun!
We also really liked the Rock Scissors Paper Song. There’s a video online that you can see on Youtube. It’ll show you how to do the song. Check it out. It’s fun!
You can also go to the Super Simple Songs site for ideas to use with the songs.
You can go here to hear clips of some of the songs.
Super Simple Songs is made by Devon at Head, Shoulders, Knees, and all that and Troy at SongStreet.
Enjoy!
