Forest Animals Song for Kids

I think there is no a child in the whole world who doesn’t love animals. That’s why I decided to create a new song about our children's animal friends. This time my song features animals living in the forest. From the very childhood people meet forest animal characters in children’s stories and fairy-tales. The most lucky kids can observe wildlife in animals' habitat or in a zoo. My 3,5 years old son loves all kinds of animals but for the time being we have no chance to visit at least a zoo as we live in a relatively small town where there is no way to see real wild animals. Anyway, I do believe that animals are the most exciting and appealing creatures in children's life. That's why I hope that kids from all over the world will love my song. The cute thing about the song video is that my little son sings the last refrain. This video was created by our entire family. I had written lyrics and music, then I sang the song with my son and my husband created animal images and the animation for the following video.


My song introduces animals of middle latitudes. They are common both in European and North American forests. While listening to my song and working with a great variety of worksheets, which I would like to share with educators from all over the world in my next posts, children will learn names of forest animals in English as well as facts about where these animals live and what they can do.

So here are the Forest Animals song lyrics:

1
Discover who lives in the forest
In the heart of a deep, green forest,
In the holes and in the trees
I can easily tell you this.

Refrain:
Foxes and bears,
Squirrels and hares,
Wolves, snakes, and birds.
Moles and deer,
Hedgehogs and beavers,
Butterflies and frogs.

2
Discover who lives in the forest
In the heart of a deep, green forest,
On the ground and in the air,
Animals everywhere.

They run very fast
And hide in the grass,
Walk, jump and crawl.
They swim in the river
And fly with no fear
Let’s name them all:

Refrain:
Foxes and bears,
Squirrels and hares,
Wolves, snakes, and birds.
Moles and deer,
Hedgehogs and beavers,
Butterflies and frogs.
