Cute Frog Song for Children (Counting from 1 to 10)

I strongly believe that one of the most important missions of a teacher is to evoke children's love for learning. That's why educator's essential task is to make his/her lessons as less boring as possible. It's especially true when you work with little kids like I do. So my strategy is to use funny songs and characters during my ESL lessons. And my now song about a cute frog who can count can be another tool to turn learning English into an exiting process for kids.

Two Aliens. Song for Children about Cute Aliens

This song about two cute aliens is my husband's contribution to my English teaching activity. My husband works for a web design company as a translator while I teach English to children. He often gets inspired with the success of our Youtube channel where we post my ESL songs for which my husband often creates animation videos. He also get inspired by our four years old son who is constantly surrounded with kids' stuff and tries to learn English through songs, cartoons and children's books. So the atmosphere of the early childhood education in our house seems to be contagious because my husband has made a decision not only to help me create videos for my songs but also write his own songs for kids. And he wrote lyrics for a few new songs I am going to show in this blog. I think these songs are really good.

His first song is called "Two Aliens". This song is about two cute little aliens who visit children on the Earth to play with them and eat some yummies. When he showed this song to me I understood that it could be a really powerful teaching material for teachers working with elementary school kids and older children because the song story is really cute and funny. All teachers know that fun is always great for any kind of lessons with kids and especially for teaching languages. Fun helps create excitement and human brain remembers moments of excitement more effectively than colorless and boring situations. Memorizing things while playing fun games and singing fun songs during lessons is much easier especially for little ones. My husband had created drawings of two cute alien characters and used them to make this little cartoon for even more fun during my English lessons.


This is yet another song created by our whole family (the others being the Fruits and Berries song, the Forest Animals song and the Dinosaur song): my husband contributed his lyrics, illustrations and animation; I composed the music and recorded my singing, and you can hear our four years old son as the cute alien's voice in the video above.
