Hi all, we have lost our alphabet tape and are devastated. Can anyone recommend a good online resource for alphabet songs?
Thanks
Jo

Years ago I wrote my own cos I hated "ellemenopee" being understood as the name of a letter. Unfortunately "alphabet boogie" is only in my head as I never wrote it down (the lyrics are pretty well known, it;s the tune that's not). You could have a go at that?? Adapt a tune you know and see if the alphabet scans into it.

Actually I can write it down for the rythmn of the piece.. try something akin to down in the jungle rythmn

a, b, c, d
e, f, then g,
h,i, j, then it's k,
l, m, then comes n,
o,p,q,r,s,t,u (crisp and stacatto)
v, w (hold on sustained note...
x,y,z!!!

repeat until collapse.

Play, while it cannot change the external realities of children’s lives, can be a vehicle for children to explore and enjoy their differences and similarities and to create, even for a brief time, a more just world where everyone is an equal and valued participant.

We use the same one as Marion - it's on the Letters and Sounds DVD with some actions to go with it.

Actually, I normally start singing and then realise I've got the wrong tune - didn't think about Bobby Shaftoe, won't get stuck again, Thanks Marion :o

There are loads of brilliant ones on youtube. Make sure you check the pronunciation of /z/ though

I like this one but it is the phonemes not the letter names.

This is a nice one with some lovely pictures

You can download the clips using 'realplayer' it is very easy to do and put them on your flashdrive to play at school.

Here is the link to instructions
