Little known fact: the second most sought after song available on this website is “Animals Belong in Class,” by Teacher and the Rockbots.

This song helps listeners differentiate between mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians and arthropods by calling out descriptive clues about each class and then asking listeners to deduce the correct class.

“Let’s Learn the 50 States” is the most downloaded song from the Teacher and the Rockbots’ educational music catalogue. It is modern, energetic and not childish like so much of the genre.

In addition to the song itself, there are printable flashcards and worksheets, wiki references and the bonus video above. All are free and can be used with or without the song itself.
