I'm all about songs. They are easy to learn. I know numerous Scripture verses because they have been put to song and lots of other useful facts. Didn't we all learn the alphabet that way?
My son is 3 now, and I wanted him to learn some information about himself in case he ever needs it. Rather than just trying to get him to memorize facts, I decided to put it into a song to make it easier.
You don't need to be too creative to do it. Just use a familiar tune. Mine is, in fact, to the same tune as the alphabet song, or "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." The lines don't even rhyme, but they fit. Here are the words (leaving out personal details that I don't necessarily want to reveal to everyone who may come across this blog).
Cooper __________ is my name.
__ __ __ __ __ __ (Our last name has a somewhat unusual spelling, so I spelled it out.)
My dad is Don, and my mom is Jill.
I live at _______ (house number)
____________________ (street number and city).
____________________ (phone number).
My mom has a cell phone too:
___________________ (cell number)
My dad has a cell as well:
___________________ (Dad's cell number)
My zip code in Tennessee
is _______________ (zip code)
I've just sung it to him a few times, and he pretty much knows it. I heard him singing it last night when he was laying in bed. After all, who doesn't want to learn a song that's all about them?
