Geography Songs – Sing Around the World!

Looking for a way to teach geography in a fun and engaging way? How about via song? Geography Songs is a great way to help kids learn all things geography!

Geography Songs – Sing Around the World!

You know how, in secret societies, people recognize each other by a sign, a gesture, or a word?  Well, that’s how I used to feel about Geography Songs.

You’d just have to start, “North A-MER-i-ca,” and any homeschooler nearby would join in, “South A-MER-i-ca!”  That’s how we could tell who homeschooled.

I haven’t heard much about this CD lately, and that’s a pity because it’s one of the catchiest ways to learn basic geography facts.

In over thirty songs with accompanying outline maps, Kathy Troxel teaches names and locations of countries of the world, as well as oceans, planets, and states of the US. Some songs are just listings of names. Others also tell about the culture of an area.

What’s Included?

  • A music cd with thirty-three songs that teach names and locations of continents, oceans, planets and 225 countries.
  • An illustrated workbook that contains maps, lyrics, and famous landmarks.

The music is light, cheerful and catchy, occasionally even tying in with the culture of the countries in the song.  It remains pleasant even after hearing it hundreds of times…and that is important.

My children begged to listen to it. If children color the map while they are listening (mine don’t like coloring), they will learn the locations even more quickly.  In any case, this is a great basis for any geography study.

Our version is old but the CD has been newly updated and includes a large world map as well.

Purchase Geography Songs:

Purchase Here ==>> Geography Songs CD & Workbook
There is also a set for States and Capitals! Purchase That Here ==>> States and Capitals Songs

PLUS if you go to Kathy Troxel’s Website you can purchase a Geography Songs 3 DVD Set that has 40 SONGS!

Includes 40 Geography Songs that teach names and locations of all the countries of the world, continents and oceans, Solar System, capitals, provinces and territories of Canada, states of Mexico, States and Capitals of the USA.

These are sing-along videos with quizzes and performance tracks on 3 DVDs. Fun for all ages. See samples here: https://vimeo.com/album/3198887

    We love Geography Songs! I’ve been using it for our geography study this year with my kindergartener and preschooler. Even my three year old can sing the countries of Africa and much of Asia. A superb resource! And like you said, the songs are catchy without being annoying.

    We bought our cassette so many years ago that some of the countries have changed since (we even lost a planet), so I guess we could stand to buy an update. But at least “California, Arizona, New Mexico…” is still current.

    BTW, one of the only songs I never liked on GS was the Canada song! It probably wouldn’t matter if you lived somewhere else, but it hurts my brain to think of the provinces all scrambled up like that.

    I also have to second these songs! My 4 year old girl positively LOVES them and asks to listen to them ALL THE TIME. It is funny to hear her absentmindedly singing the different songs at times throughout the day. And, yes, I have learned a lot, too! We like to look at a map of the area for a certain song and try to point to the countries (or states) as we sing them. It’s a fun game!
