A good laugh is sunshine in the house. – William Thackery

These silly songs are sure to bring laughter and brighten your day! Laughter is one of the best medicines after all.

Think of these fun songs for kids as the dessert on a musical menu! Music can be an incredible tool, and it’s one of our favorite ways to teach. But sometimes, we turn to music when we just want to have fun!

Since there are so many amazing silly songs to choose from, I’ve broken the songs into a few categories:

• Silly Songs with Movement
• Silly Songs for Kids
• Silly Songs for Preschool

How to Stream Music in the Classroom or at Home

If you want to get songs without the ads from YouTube, there are a couple simple solutions. You can click the songs directly from this post, and it should take away most of the ads. Screen it first to make sure it works for your needs.

If you are using just audio, I haveAmazon Music Unlimited. It isn’t free, but well worth it for me because we use it each day between the classroom and home. If you would want to download more than 10 songs a month, it’s worth its weight in gold!

It’s compatible with your phone, electronic devices, Alexa, and computer. What’s great is that I can download the songs while I’m home on my phone using wifi with the Amazon Music app. Then the songs are always there on my phone, and I can play them in the classroom, the car, or anywhere else.

There is also a 2 million song music library withAmazon Prime. That’s how I started, but then I eventually switched toAmazon Music Unlimitedbecause it has nearly every song.

Learn the simple phrase along with our Learning Station friends, then repeat as they do it baby style, cowboy style, motorcycle style, janitor style (my favorite,) Elvis style, and underwater style. Smiles guaranteed! Stick around after the song for a fun tongue twister challenge.
