Funny songs and poems

Singing silly songs with children is a bonding experience enabling kids to have fun with each other especially when summer camps are in full swing. It is a maker of memories and for many kids a delightful confidence booster.
It is also a great way for our little ones to begin to understand and think about their crazy world. These songs introduce nonsensical ideas that even very youngest can appreciate and enjoy with fun and laughter. There is almost invariably a pattern to follow to help the growing brain develop reasoning, ordering and many other skills.

This collection originated in its original home as part of the ‘Song cupboard’ treasury and has now grown past the !MAGIC NUMBER 21! target for achieving its own page –
So here we are again comic songs gathered together to sing for the pure joy of fun and learning! More will be added as time goes by.

My original site: http://www.singinggamesforchildren.com/ has a library of more than 3000 songs, games and rhymes many that fit this category,
Here in this ‘River of song’ collection they will over time be gathered together alphabetically in one home.

Some of these songs can be found in the YouTube playlist below:
