Can you sing the animals? Sing the Animals! is a short, happy song for kids that teaches 25 animal names in under a minute. It is made for young learners: the words are simple, the music is bouncy, and every animal arrives on screen at the exact moment its name is sung.
How the Song Works
The song opens with an invitation: "From the jungle to the sea, sing the animals with me!" Then the animals come one after another, fast and fun. As each name is sung, that animal's picture appears on screen with its name written in big letters — so children hear the word, see the animal, and read the name, all at the same time.
Between the verses comes the chorus that everyone can join in with: "Animals, animals, big and small, sing them, sing them, one and all!"
The Land Animals
The first verse is full of animals from the land. The king of the jungle comes first — the lion — followed by the tiger, the giant elephant and the strong bear. Then come the wolf, the clever fox and the speedy hare.
The song then travels further: the playful monkey, the gentle panda, the red kangaroo that jumps, the striped zebra, the tall giraffe with its long neck, and the emu, the big bird that cannot fly. Later, the hippo is splashing in the water, the crocodile snaps its jaws, and the cheetah — the fastest land animal of all — is racing with no time to nap.
The Sea Animals
Next, the song dives under the water. Here swim the whale, the biggest animal on Earth, and the friendly dolphin. The shark and the seal are there too, and so is the octopus with its eight squiggly arms.
The Cold Lands and the Sky
The last verse visits the cold places and the sky. The penguin is sliding on the ice, and the polar bear is white like the snow around it. Finally, the song looks up: the eagle and the owl are flying by night.
Why Kids Learn Fast With Songs
Young children remember words much better when they hear them, see them and sing them together. Music gives every word a rhythm, the picture shows what the word means, and the big written name helps children connect the sound to the letters. Singing the song again and again turns learning into a game — and children can shout out each animal's name before it appears.
