Where The Wild Things Are Book, Song, and Video

One of the most popular classic children's books is "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. This great book helps spark children's imagination.

Did you know that this classic book is a song and now has a music video for it? That's right The Learning Station just released a video for their internationally hit song "Wild Things". This is a fun brain break song with incredible graphics. Children will love doing the fun movements that the wild thing makes. Children absolutely love Freeze Dance songs and this is a freeze dance song! The song is featured on the hit CD "Literacy In Motion" by The Learning Station. The hit CD also includes songs like "Five Little Monkeys", "I Know An Old Lady", "Green Eggs and Ham", and many more!



"Where The Wild Things Are" is also now a movie! It would be great to have children read the book, watch the movie, and listen to the song and then compare and contrast them!



There are affiliate links included for the movie and book. It doesn't cost you a penny more.

Haunted House Brain Break!

When I saw the new The Learning Station song "Haunted House", which is a fun freeze dance song I just KNEW I had to share it with my readers. Brain breaks are perfect to give your students a few minutes break from work. Us adults can only concentrate on something for about 30 minutes from what I have read. Children it is far less than that. So break up their work with a quick brain break! I thought this song would be great with Halloween approaching!

The Learning Station has two different versions of videos for the song. The first one is an animation video with the words printed on the screen. This makes it perfect for ELL/ESOL learners as well as children just learning to read! Children will love the graphics and the characters are done in a way that they are not scary looking!


The second version of the song has two children and Don Monopoli doing the actions for the brain break. The background shows them going through the haunted house with the various Halloween characters.




Which video for "Haunted House" is your favorite? Let me know in the comments. You can purchase the actual song on CD Baby or ITUNES.
