The Best Alphabet Songs for Kindergarten
If there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that kindergarteners LOVE music.
Turn on a song and you’ll instantly have 25 little heads bobbing as they sing along – whether they know the tune or not.
Adding an Alphabet song to our morning routine has been one of the best things for my class. We choose one of these alphabet videos to sing along to every morning, and I have seen how it has impacted my students’ growth in a positive way.
Why? Music gives the brain rhyme and rhythm which gives it cues to recall information with.
How many of us still break into song with Gwen Stefani whenever we think of spelling the word “bananas”?
I have gathered a list of our favorite alphabet songs for kindergarten. Even though we sing these repeatedly, my class never gets tired of them!
Watch the Letters Get Down
Watch the Letters Get Down is one of our FAVORITE alphabet videos! This is the alphabet song that I find myself singing as I prepare dinner or try to relax ????.
It’s that catchy!
This letter sounds review video combines alphabet motions, visual and word cues, and a fun rhythm to help students learn the letter sounds.
Mr. B has a few other phonics songs and videos that are just as fun. You can transition from this alphabet song to his blends and digraphs songs later in the year and your students will love it!
Act Out the Alphabet
Act Out the Alphabet is another favorite alphabet song that combines music and movement. Really, any Jack Hartmann video is a winner in our book.
You can do the motions to this song sitting down or get up and dance it out!
Alphabet Song by Have Fun Teaching
I don’t know what it is about this alphabet review song, but my students always feel SO cool singing it.
????
Have Fun Teaching also has individual letter videos that would be a good companion to this song when you focus on a letter a day.
Animal Alphabet Move and Grove
I told you, we are big fans of all things Jack Hartmann. This alphabet song is fun because it gives an animal name for each letter.
It also gets kids up and moving and grooving so they get the kinesthetic connection as well.
What Do The Letters Say?
This is another alphabet song that you won’t be able to get out of your head. What Do the Letters Say? is a letter sounds parody of What Does the Fox Say? and it’s as entertaining as you might imagine.
Whether your students know the original song or not, I can guarantee they will love this fun letter sounds video!
This list of alphabet YouTube videos contains some of our favorite alphabet songs to include in our morning routine. Have another favorite? Tell us down below! ????

English Alphabet Song for Children and Adults
Alphabet Song is a simple, cheerful rhyme with music that is used to teach letters to children. The English alphabet song, better known as the ABC Song, lists the names of all the letters of the English alphabet in order. Light text and a simple melody are quickly remembered even by kids.
Linguists, educators and scientists have long been saying that the human brain perceives and remembers clear and clearly structured information better. Therefore, when working with toddlers and older children, visual material and musical additions are often used.
A song about the alphabet in English helps to quickly master new material not only for children, but also for adults.
And the modern multimedia world provides a wide selection of videos and audio pros, the song in which is very easy to remember.

- How children first learn about letters and sounds
- ABC Song - the easiest song about the alphabet
- British pronunciation of "Zed" for "Z"
- Song "Reverse Alphabet" in English
- Animal and object names alphabet
- Acoustic songs and acrostics
How children learn about letters and sounds for the first time speaking and writing. However, learning letters is much more than just the song "English alphabet".
Indeed, most children start learning English with an alphabet song, complete with bright pictures of letters. But the baby learns sounds much earlier than it learns letters.
A small child listens and reproduces the sounds he hears, and begins to intuitively understand that the names of surrounding objects and phenomena consist of sound units, that is, syllables.
This explains why even small children are able to distinguish between a request to find a cup and a request to bring a stone. Although at the same time the child will not be able to explain how he knows that this object is called that.
In this way, babies first get an idea of sounds and letters when they hear and reproduce the sounds around them. Therefore, it is important to let them listen to songs about the English alphabet as early and as often as possible.
ABC Song - the easiest song about the alphabet
The easiest way to learn a foreign alphabet is to pronounce melodic in order. Moreover, you can do this in a sing-song voice to quiet and calm music, or, conversely, quickly list all 26 letters at an accelerated pace.
"The A.B.C." /ˌEɪ.biːˈsiː/, "A.B.Cs" /ˌeɪ.biːˈsiːz/ or ABC Song is one of the most famous songs in English, which is also called the "Alphabet Song".
ABC song about the English alphabet is also one of the most popular in English-speaking countries, especially in the United States of America.
It is ideal for teaching the foreign alphabet to very young students, as it has the simplest text and a calm musical motive.
ABC The English Alphabet Song received copyright protection for the first time in 1835. Then the music publisher from Boston, Charles Bradley, registered it in his name and gave the name, which in full sounds like “ The A.B.C., German style with variations for flute with light accompaniment for forte .”
The 18th century composer Louis Le Mer invented, as recorded in the copyright, the musical arrangement of this ditty. The corresponding entry was made "by an act of Congress in 1835 by C. Bradley in the office of the Clerk of the District Court of Massachusetts.
"
The lyrics of an ABC Song in which each line represents two bars or eight beats:
- A, B, C, D, E, F, G … (/eɪ biː siː diː iː ɛf dʒiː /)
- H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P ... (/eɪtʃ aɪ dʒeɪ keɪ ɛlɛmɛnoʊ piː /; "L, M, N, O" is pronounced twice as fast as the rest of the rhyme)
- Q, R, S ... / T, U, V ... (/ kjuː ɑːr ɛs | tiː juː viː /; pause between S and T, although in some variants the union “and” is pronounced)
- W … X … / Y and (/ &) Z. (/ ˈdʌbəl.juː ɛks|waɪ ænd ziː/; pause between X and Y, and W and X last two beats)
- Now, I know my ABCs. ( / naʊ aɪ noʊ maɪ eɪ biːz /) (translation : now I I know ABC ) 9005
- 9005 NEITME, WONXT TIME, WONXT TIME, WONXT TIM ? (/
nɛ kst taɪ m WOʊ NT Juː Sɪŋ Wɪ 9 Miː /) (Translated: Translated: Translated next time?
According to the Newberry Library, which says: "The theme is that used by Mozart in his piano variations Ah, vous dirai-je, maman.
" This tune is the same as the tune for the children's songs "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep".
British pronunciation of "Zed" for "Z"
There is another variant of the ABC Song called "Zed for Z". The fact is that in the USA the letter “Z” is distinguished by the pronunciation of “zee” (zee) from the pronunciation of most other English-speaking countries (Great Britain, Australia, Canada), in which this letter is pronounced as “zed” (zed).
Available with zed pronunciation. In this case, the second line is shortened and the last one is lengthened, forming a rhyme between N and zed:
a- b- c- d- e- f- g
h-i-j-k-l-m-n
o-p-q-r-s-t-u
v-w-x-y-z(ed)
When performing this song about the alphabet of the English language, as a rule, the missing zi-rhyme is not missed, but some children try to use it out of habit.
Attention! The French version of "The English Alphabet" is also popular in Canada. At the same time, the melody of the performance does not change, except for the last line, which requires adjustment to match the two-syllable pronunciation of the French "Y".
"Reverse Alphabet" song in English
Wee Sing released a reverse alphabet song called "ZYXs". The Canadian children's television series The Big Comfortable Couch used a version of the song in the first episode of the fourth season, "Back". So it got its wide distribution.
Reverse alphabet is a version of the alphabet song in which the letters are not sung "from A to Z", but backwards - "from Z to A":
- z-y-x, w
In 1966, comedian Soupy Sales released a song called "Backwards Alphabet" which featured a reverse alphabet in a lyrical style.
The original version of the song was performed by actress Judy Rolin with the Smothers Brothers in the 1966 television series Through the Looking Glass. Alphabet by the names of animals and objects
The song "English alphabet" for children with the name of animals or objects for each letter will explain the alphabet to kids, matching letters with the names of words. So, children quickly memorize not only the letters of the English alphabet, but also many new foreign words.
Acoustic songs and acrostics
Since there are over 40 sounds and only 26 letters in the English language, children and beginner adults also need to learn the different sounds (or phonemes, diphthongs) that are associated with each letter. Many songs were written to teach phonemic awareness, and they are also commonly referred to as songs in alphabetical order.
There are also compositions that go through the alphabet, whereby some letters stand for something in the process.
For example, "A' You're Adorable", also known as "The Alphabet Love Song", was recorded at 1948 by Buddy Kay, Fred Wise, Sidney Lippman and later Perry Como. Thematic activities, such as the English alphabet song, as well as puzzles, books and games, use the entire alphabet. The general idea is great for kids, but learning all 26 letters of the English alphabet and their corresponding sounds can take some time.
Children do not need to know the entire alphabet of the English language to begin an early understanding of how reading and writing work. Syllables can be learned after the vowels and a few consonants have been learned.

English alphabet for kids.
Simple Learning Technique Learning the alphabet is the first step in learning a language. In order for a child to start reading, and then write and speak fluently in a foreign language, first you need to introduce him to the letters: show how they look, teach each to write, work out pronunciation with him, which we do safely, but presenting the study of the English alphabet to kids in game form.
A song will help kids memorize the English alphabet
This method is suitable for those children who perceive information well by ear.
Educational video for learning English with a toddler
The film shows each letter of the English alphabet and objects that begin with that letter.
The child will not only remember what a letter looks like, hear it and be able to hone its pronunciation, but will also associate it with a specific image.
After a while, he will already be happy to "predict" the events of the video, shouting letters and words before they are voiced.
You can also present the English alphabet for kids in pictures. To do this, you need to show the child an image of an apple (apple [ˈapəl]) and pronounce the name of the fruit (or show the letter corresponding to it, that is, A [eɪ]).English alphabet for toddlers in play form
Learning the English alphabet in play form will be a pleasure for your child. The most important thing in the process of teaching a child is not to make this lesson boring, which will help the following list of games.
Alphabet Soup Game
You will need picture cards for each letter of the alphabet and the letters themselves. Letters (paper or plastic) must be thrown into an improvised pan, and the images laid out on the table. Each participant must draw a letter from the pan, and then choose among the pictures an “ingredient” that begins with this letter.
