# Songs for your preschool theme: autumn, the farm, space and more A preschool theme song works best when it carries the exact words you are teaching that week, a few true facts and an action for each verse. You type your theme, your vocabulary and your actions, we write and sing a song around them in minutes, and you check every fact before a note is sung. ## Themes that work well as songs - **Autumn:** leaves changing color, acorns and pinecones, squirrels storing food, wearing a coat. - **On the farm:** animals, their babies (calf, lamb, foal) and the sounds they make. - **Space:** the Sun, the Moon, the Earth turning, astronauts and rockets. - **People who help us:** firefighters, nurses, librarians, bus drivers. - **Minibeasts:** a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, ladybugs, worms. - **Winter, seasons, the ocean, growing seeds, our bodies, transport.** Pick one idea per song. "Farm animals and their babies" is a song; "everything about farms" is a list. ## What to give the songwriter - The theme and your one-line learning goal. - Your vocabulary list, in the exact words you use: "lamb", not "baby sheep", if that is what you teach. - The facts to include. The writer is told to leave out any fact it is not sure of, but you are the final check. - An action for each verse: flap like a bird, rocket count-down crouch, leaves falling with wiggly fingers. Then read the lyrics as you would a picture book before story time. Change any word, or ask for a fresh draft with a note such as "more animal sounds". ## Using the song across the week **Monday:** play it as the theme starts; point to pictures as each word comes up. **Tuesday:** add the actions. **Wednesday:** stop before key words and let the children say them. **Thursday:** use it at the art or role-play table as background. **Friday:** the class performs it, perhaps for families at pick-up. Our songs run about two minutes, which fits a carpet session. Keep the song after the week: a theme song sung again in spring is a quick way to check what stuck. ## A year of themes from one pack A pack of 20 covers one song per theme for most early-years years, with spares for routines or celebrations. Packs never expire, and they bring the price per song down compared with buying one at a time. A simple habit: make the next theme's song on the Friday before, while the plan is fresh, and print the lyrics for your theme display so families can see the words their child is learning. For single topics children learn from, see also [science songs](/learn/science-songs-for-kids) and [weather and seasons songs](/learn/weather-and-seasons-song). ## How it is made Choose "For children to listen to", pick a topic (or "custom"), the age band and a style. About a minute after payment you read the lyrics; up to 3 fresh drafts are included. An AI music model then sings the song in about 2 to 4 minutes, in a warm adult female or male voice. Make up to 3 sung versions and keep the one you like as an MP3. ## Example lyrics Made with Still Morning for a made-up example, from these details: "Farm theme week. Goal: children match farm animals to their babies and sounds. Vocabulary: cow and calf, sheep and lamb, horse and foal, hen and chick, pig and piglet. One verse per pair with the animal sound. Actions: moo hands as horns, gallop on the spot, flap elbows.". **On the Farm** ``` [Verse 1] The cow says moo, moo, moo She has a calf, it's true The calf stays by her side They walk with a happy stride Put your hands up like horns Moo moo moo all morn [Chorus] On the farm, on the farm Every baby has a name On the farm, on the farm Let's all play the matching game [Verse 2] The sheep says baa, baa, baa Her lamb is small, hurrah The lamb is soft and white They stay together day and night The horse says neigh, neigh, neigh Her foal can run and play [Chorus] On the farm, on the farm Every baby has a name On the farm, on the farm Let's all play the matching game [Bridge] Gallop, gallop, flap your wings Clap for all the farmyard things [Chorus] On the farm, on the farm Every baby has a name On the farm, on the farm Let's all play the matching game ``` ## What it cannot do The writer tries to keep every fact correct, but it can still get something wrong, so read the lyrics before you approve them. It cannot copy a well-known theme song or a TV character. A song covers one idea well in about two minutes; it is not a full lesson or a scheme of work. ## Questions **Can I make a song for a very specific theme?** Yes. Choose "custom" and describe it: a local festival, a class trip, the life cycle of a frog. Specific details give a better song. **How do I make sure the facts are right?** Type the facts you want in the details, then check the lyrics before you approve them. You can change any word yourself. **Can the song be quieter for a calm theme like bedtime animals?** Yes. Choose the gentle or lullaby style instead of playful. **Can a theme song be in two languages?** Yes. Songs can be sung in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese or Italian, and you can ask in the details for key words in both languages, for example "say each animal in English, then in Spanish". Check the lyrics before they are sung. **Can I use theme songs in a class video for parents?** Yes, in your classroom and on your own channels. Follow your setting's policy on filming children and keep their surnames out. --- Still Morning: one song $29, five songs $49, twenty songs $99 (the same numbers in euros or pounds in Europe and the UK), paid once.
