Fishies song

I'm a really big fan of Nancy Stewart and her songs for kids.  Every month she releases a timely, free, downloadable song for young children at her website.  Sometimes the songs are little much linguistically for my kids, but the music is always so attractive and Nancy has a wonderfully calming voice.

June's song of the month is great for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and young ESL/EFL students.  It's very simple, teaches some basic concepts (colors, size, numbers), and the repetition makes it easy for children to begin singing it very quickly.  It's called "Fishies" and she includes a pdf file with some simple fish patterns to use while singing the song.

Nancy's songs of the month are free, but if you don't want to bother going through and downloading them all, she has them available for purchase on CD as well.

Hello!

For the last year I have been running a creative ESL studio for children in Germany. I am originally from Seattle and have used Nancy Stewart's Energy Song as a warm up from the get-go.

I am happy to have found your blog and inspired by the fantastic videos! I am working on next year's Children's Art Workshops and will be integrating your wonderful Super Simple Songs into my program.

Thank you and kindest regards!
