Sing along with all your favorite nursery rhyme and kid songs with this website. All songs include the lyrics and most also include a YouTube video of the song that you can sing along with. We did find that some of the video links were not working but don’t let that stop you from browsing through hundreds of great, fun, kid songs.

Use the upper menu to search a specific song, browse the top songs, or select the “Songs by Genre” to see songs in categories such as: 

  • Learning Songs
  • Sing-along Songs
  • Food Songs
  • Activity Songs
  • Patriotic Songs

And much, much more.

This is an excellent resource for teaching children some of our favorite childhood songs.

Free Virtual Magnetic Poetry

April 1st, 2020

 

It’s Wednesday, April 1, 2020, and time for Language Arts at ClickSchooling!

 

Recommended Website:

Magnetic Poetry

(magneticpoetry.com/pages/play-online)

Age Range: 6-18 (Grades 1-12, with parental supervision)

 

April is National Poetry Month so we are featuring this company that makes magnetized words that stick to refrigerators, cookie sheets, etc. Use them to create rhymes, poems, sentences, and cryptic messages.

At their website, you can use free virtual magnetized words to create fun, silly, and serious poetry – or to just have fun with words. Click on any one of the five Magnetic Poetry games: 

  • Original Kit
  • Mustache Poet
  • Nature Poet
  • Poet Kit
  • Geek

You can drag and drop the virtual magnetized words to create poems or whatever you or your child’s imagination can conceive.

There is great potential here to open a game and leave it on the computer screen in a heavily trafficked area of the house. Start one line of poetry and leave it unfinished. Invite those passing by to add a line or two. See what develops as everyone takes a turn.
