I wrote this song to be performed with the "instrumental" version of Ice Cube's "today was a good day" on youtube. However, you could perform it to anything. The rhyme scheme is not to complex so anybody can do it. It focuses on the 12 main gods of Mount Olympus. Greek Gods Rap Just lookin'up to the mountain up to gods some of them might seem kinda odd they can’t be seen they’re above the cloud The Greek word hubris means to be proud Zeus is the king and the god of the sky His lightning

Song and Video: George Washington Sing about Crossing the Delaware

Created by

Make History Fun

In this video and song George Washington and members of the Continental Army sing about the night they crossed the Delaware River to surprise the British and their Hessian mercenaries at Trenton. The song is sung to the tune of "Silent Night." Little did the world know that the first rendition of "Silent Night" took place at this historic event! The singing is a little off-key but what do you expect from a recording that took place over 200 years ago. The lyrics are on the screen so you and yo

People in Your Neighborhood-Community Workers Song

Created by

Small Speech World

This takes a favorite Sesame Street Song "Who are The People in Your Neighborhood" and changes it to talk about the various people that you would find in your community. It names each person and then gives a function for each worker. This is a really fun song that most children love to sing. It's enjoyable and it teaches them information about community workers at the same time. What a great way to teach about community occupations.
