Rapping the Alphabet: I Know My ABCs

Have Fun Teaching

This energetic music video transforms the traditional alphabet song into an engaging rap performance designed to get young learners moving and singing. Set in a recording studio, the video features two performers—a rapper and a dancer—who bring a cool, modern vibe to fundamental literacy skills. The catchy beat and call-to-response structure encourage active participation rather than passive listening. The content focuses entirely on the sequence of the English alphabet, breaking the 26 letters down into rhythmic chunks that make memorization easier. The video utilizes a parody style reminiscent of 90s hip-hop to make the learning process fun and memorable. It emphasizes oral language skills, rhythm, and auditory sequencing of letters from A to Z. For educators, this video serves as an excellent alternative to slow-paced nursery rhymes, particularly for energetic classes or students who need kinesthetic engagement. It is perfect for brain breaks, morning meeting warm-ups, or transitioning into literacy blocks. The strong rhythmic beat helps students internalize the letter order, while the "stop and listen" segment models attention-getting techniques useful for classroom management.
