"Who Let the A Out?" Alphabet Song


Here is a little chant/song I used to review letter names and sounds. It's sung to the tune of "Who Let the Dogs Out?"

Who let the A out?
/a/, /a/, /a/-/a/
Who let the B out?
/b/, /b/, /b/-/b/
Who let the C out?
/c/, /c/, /c/-/c/

And so forth until you end with Z. We did this, or something similar, every day. Then, later on in the year when they began sounding out words, if they got stuck on a letter, all I had to do was say, "Who let the R out?" and they immediately remembered the sound!

The Bumblebee Chant

This is a cute little classroom chant that I use primarily at the beginning of the school year so that I and the others can get to know each other's names. But it's also cute to use when a new student enters class, or just to have fun with.


The Bumblebee Chant

Bumblebee, Bumblebee
Won't you say your name for me?
(Child gives his name. Then class repeats the child's name after each chant. Ex: Jason)
Teacher: “Clap it.” - Class claps and says: Jason!
Teacher: “Stomp it.” - Class stomps and says: Jason!
Teacher: “Snap it.” - Class snaps their fingers: Jason!
Teacher: “Pat it.” - Class pats their thighs: Jason!
Teacher: “Yell it.” - Class cups their mouths: JASON!
Teacher: “Whisper it.” - Class: Jason!
(Go to next child.)
