There is so much curriculum nowadays. Music provides a way to learn about the environment while taking a break. It helps to have songs to provide that much-needed motor break while continuing to learn. These words speak of Our Habitat, Sun in the Morning, Air Water Soil, A Tree, and Plants and Animals. With these piggyback lyrics by Hildra Tague, kids breathe in oxygen and breathe out fun!

Easy Earth Day Song Our Habitat

Tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb

1. Let's make Earth our habitat, habitat, habitat. Let's keep earth our habitat; it's home to all of us.
2. Let's make Earth our habitat, habitat, habitat. We can share our habitat. Creatures call it home.
3. Take care of Earth, our habitat, habitat, habitat. Take care of Earth, our habitat; let's keep it fresh and clean.

Repeat Verse One

Singalong for Earth Day Sun in the Morning

Tune of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow

1. The sun comes up in the morning. The sun comes up in the morning. The sun comes up in the morning, and gives us lots of light.
2. The sun comes up in the morning. The sun comes up in the morning. The sun comes up in the morning, and then goes down at night.
3. The sun comes up in the morning. The sun comes up in the morning. The sun comes up in the morning, and gives us lots of life!

Easy Earth Day Lyrics Air, Water, Soil

Tune of Three Blind Mice

Air, water, dirt; air, water, dirt. Air, water, dirt; air, water, dirt.

You breathe in the air, and it makes you so happy. The water is there each time you are thirsty.The dirt is where all our food really comes from.

Air, water, dirt. Air, water, soil!

Environnmental Lyrics A Tree

Tune of Farmer in the Dell

1. A tree, a tree, a tree. A tree, a tree, a tree. We all see them every day: a tree, a tree, a tree.
2. The forest's filled with trees. The jungle's filled with trees. Look up real high and see the leaves, and breathe in oxygen.
3. A tree, a tree, a tree. A tree, a tree, a tree. We all enjoy them every day; if you cut one, plant three.

Earth Day Song Plants and Animals

Tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb

1. The plants and animals are needing us, needing us, needing us. Plants and animals are feeding us. What do we do for them?
2. So take care of the plants at home, plants at home, plants at home. You could even grow some vegetables–to feed your family.
3. Animals need their food and homes, food and homes, food and homes. So don't mess with their habitats; it is their only home.

These easy songs teach children to respect the environment develop both vocabulary and concepts while teaching responsibility for the earth. Singing uses both sides of the brain to enhance reading skills, especially increasing fluency. These lyrics are appropriate for any day of the year, but work quite well in April when students are thinking of Earth Day.
