Sing-a-Long Booklet of the Lyrics to Schoolhouse Rocks America

The Schoolhouse Rock videos have given almost 50 years of unforgettable songs and cartoons that stay with the audience for decades longer than most lessons provided in classrooms today. As a student, I utilized them repeatedly in school to remember gram

That's Alright, Texas (The Story of Stephen F. Austin) - Distance Learning

Ready to Serve- George Washington
This is a 3 minute rock song about the life of George Washington. It includes the actual song I made in using Garage Band software, a lyric sheet, and discussion questions based on the song. The overall gist of the song, and SmileWithHistory products in general, is to focus on the positive aspects of the lives of famous figures in American history. I then ask students to reflect on their own lives and give examples of how they have displayed the same positive character traits.

The United States Government Jam (funny, engaging music video about govt basics)
This is a MUST for any GOVERNMENT teacher. I had my students memorize the song in middle school and they come back and consistently tell me they still remember the song in high school and college and that it really helps!!! Print out three pages of preview to get copy of lyrics, and a written activity with key. There is an AWFUL, but memorably AWFUL recording to go along with the PPT.

Thirteen Colonies Song
This catchy song, sung to the popular tune "Turkey in the Straw", will help your students (and their teacher...wink) to remember the names of all thirteen original American colonies, the order in which they were founded, and the general time frame during which each colony was founded. Even better, it's lots of fun to sing!
(PS. If you're not familiar with the tune to "Turkey in the Straw", the kindergarten teacher nearest you probably is. :-))
