The fish song - Το ψαράκι

This is our newest addition to the Nursery Rhymes series. It is a lovely nursery rhyme, based on the English nursery rhyme Once I caught a fish alive.

It helps children learn the numbers from one to ten. Ask the children to sing while counting with their fingers.

You can get the children to make fish out of card paper and hold them while singing the song. They can imitate the fish's "lips" with their mouth. You can use a blue bed sheet as the sea and let the children help their paper fish "swim" in the sea.



Here is a version of the ψαράκι nursery rhyme.

You can combine singing this song with a fish craft or a story about a fish. Here is a lovely rhyming story about a fish who is afraid to swim:

Ένα ψάρι που δεν ήξερε να κολυμπάει.



Have fun learning!

The big bad wolf

Children walk happily in the woods when they hear the big bad wolf! Where is he hiding and when is he coming out?

Children love this song! At Greek4Kids we sing it to learn the different clothes and accessories people (and wolves of course!) wear.

You can print the A3 version, laminate it and use it at home or in your classroom.

International Mother Language Day

Happy International Mother Language Day!

A very important day for the awareness on mother languages and their cultural significance. Among other things this day promotes linguistic diversity and international understanding through multilingualism and multiculturalism. Let's take a moment to celebrate and appreciate our common heritage. To all the Mother tongues of the world!

Here is a children's song (originally a poem in "Gaitanaki" (Maypole) - a book by the children's author Zorz Sarri) that celebrates the spirit of multiculturalism. You may find the full song here.

Nursery Rhyme: The cute butterfly

A lovely nursery rhyme. Children love to sing along and flap their arms like the butterfly. The butterfly flies playfully around, visits the flowers, sleeps in winter and comes back in the summer.


You can accompany this lovely nursery rhyme with a butterfly colouring page!

Great fun, way to learn your farm animals!

This song is about a turkey!



A turkey who was fed and fed and fed and fed until he got sooooo strong and big that he finally ate the farmer himself!
