Arctic Animals Song for Children

Winter is the most wonderful season, especially when you are a child. I think all children look forward to the winter coming so that they can play in the snowy fairytale. Many kids even dream of the fascinating trip to the North country covered with deep snow to see Santa Clause, reindeer and elves on the Christmas Eve.

When the holidays are over we can continue exploring this marvelous land with deep snowdrifts, huge icebergs in the frozen sea and the magic shining of Northern Lights. Children can also learn what animals live there and how they can survive in the environmental conditions which seem to be harsh for human beings.

All these things you can find in my song “Far away in the Arctic” which will help your children to discover this fantastic land.

Far away in the Arctic

Watch the Arctic Animals Song video on Youtube

Here are the song lyrics

Every time winter comes
And days are getting short
I remember the Arctic land
Somewhere in the North
At the pole it’s freezing cold
There’re neither flowers nor trees
Only icebergs made of ice and snow
Floating in the sea.

Refrain:
Far away in the Arctic
On the top of the world
Miles and miles of frozen sea
The wind is bitter cold.
Far away in the Arctic
Northern Lights
Shining brightly in the sky
All through the night.


This remote icy land
Is the home for noisy seals,
Reindeer and walruses
With tusks and chubby cheeks,
Small and hardy arctic foxes
With the warmest coat,
Strong and bold polar bears,
The rulers of the North.

Refrain:
Far away in the Arctic
On the top of the world
Miles and miles of frozen sea
The wind is bitter cold.
Far away in the Arctic
Northern Lights
Shining brightly in the sky
All through the night.

Arctic Animals Flashcards

For Kindergarten English pupils I prepared some worksheets which aim at practicing upper and lower case letters as well as the Arctic animals names spelling. To encourage little learners to penetrate into the beauty of the English language I always try to design my worksheets in such a way so that children can not only fulfill the given assignment mechanically but also can imagine themselves in the certain circumstances and help different characters to overcome all the difficulties.

Worksheet 1:In this task children should help the Arctic animals find their lost snowflakes by determining the correspondence between letters and sounds of the English language and matching correctly the North animals with the letters they begin with.

Worksheet 2: In this assignment polar animals are looking for their Christmas trees. The animals have upper case letters they begin with. There are lower case letters on the Christmas trees. Children should find out what Christmas tree belongs to the certain animal and match the letters. In addition they can color the animals.

Worksheet 3: This task is similar to the previous one, but it’s not connected with Christmas. Children should also match upper and lower case letters while feeding seals.

Worksheet 4: This task aims at practicing North animals spelling. Pupils should find out what letters are missing in the word, insert these letters and then match the word with the corresponding picture.
