Author’s purpose is a pretty dull topic… at least until you set it to music. Figure out why a writer wrote, but do it with music! Make your lessons a bit more snappy and exciting with this lively tune.

It might seem like I’m jumping subjects lately, but songs is where we’re at. HFT has a ridiculous amount of free songs available. It takes a long time to talk about all of them, especially since they’re spread over so many subjects. This one, for instance, is about phonics. What will my next post be about? You’ll just have to come back and see.

Nouns are not quite as fun to use as adjectives, but it’s important to know the place and function of every part of speech in english. They’re certainly cooler than pronouns, too. Those guys are just dull, even if they do save us time. None are as fun as interjections, though, are they?

I can think about a lot of things to say about this song. Can you describe this song using colorful adjectives? I know it sounds like I’m asking you to swear about this song, but I’m really just playing around to get you to tap into your vocabulary reserves and pull out those rarely-used 2-dollar words for the sake of learning. Have favorite word days, word of the week, and a tombstone to retire old, tired words. This song helps you get right into the swing of things.

Just when you thought it was safe to start reading this blog again, I go and make ANOTHER math song post. I won’t write a rhyme though. It seems straightforward and simple, but counting backward is a difficult skill for most kids. It’s nearly as hard as saying your alphabet backwards, which many adults struggle with. This song from have fun teaching’s musical genius puts that skill into a couple minute routine to practice. Give it a try!

Can you believe we made it? You endured twelve awful posts with horrible rhymes, although I did kind of like number eleven. Sometimes it’s hard to write interesting things about a topic, just like it’s often hard to make a topic interesting when you teach. That’s why I tried to have fun with it. I’m sure your students appreciate the silly and absurd approach sometimes, too. Anyway, after you see this final post about skip-counting songs, I hope you really do check out all the math songs on have fun teaching…
Twelve is such a hard word to rhyme.
But twelve is so common in time.
Twelve is such a hard word to use.
But twelve can be quite a muse!

Fives are next, and we’re nearly halfway done with these rhymes, which you might be able to tell is not my strongest suit. Anyway, after you’ve had a chuckle at my poor assemblage of words, head on over for some auditory delight at have fun teaching’s math songs section.

Keep in mind that the songs you’re going to get from have fun teaching are much better than my distracting words! I’m just trying to keep things fresh here, and it might be good to challenge your students to write number songs, too!

Whew. Guess I should watch what I say.
