There are so many great animal songs with actions. Doing these actions is an excellent way to help your child remember the words, developing both their memory and hand-eye coordination. And it’s fun!

One of our favourite children’s animal songs with actions is Baby Shark. As you sing it, you can act out the baby shark, momma shark and daddy shark, as well as the sun, the action of going swimming and a tidal wave. To make this even MORE fun, try speeding up as the action in the song gets more exciting! This teaches a change in rhythm and concepts of musical dynamics.
