Back-to-School Songs and Videos for Kids

I woke up feeling really good, yes it’s true
True, true, true,
I’m going to my favorite place, that’s my school
School, school, school

I’m gonna see all of my friends, and tell them hi
Hi, hi, hi
Today is gonna be so great, do you know why?
Why, why, why?

Because…

Chorus:
I get to go to school today
Oh I can’t wait, oh I can’t wait
Gonna learn, gonna play, oh it’s gonna be great
I get to go to school today, yeah!

I always try my very best, to be on time
Time, time, time
No matter who I’m with at school, I’m always kind
Kind, kind, kind

When we learn, I’ll do my best, I’m gonna try
Try, try, try
It’s gonna be the best day, do you know why, why, why, why?
Cause…

I get to learn so many things
I get to run and dance and sing
I get to have lunch with my friends
I get to do it all again and again

I get to read in the reading nook
I get to learn how to read more books
My teacher is so proud of me
Going to school makes me SO HAPPY!

I can’t wait to meet my teacher.
I wonder who they’ll be.
I wonder what they’ll be like.
Oh, I can’t wait to see.

I can’t wait to meet my teacher.
They’re such a mystery.
Oh, I wonder, I wonder who they’ll be.

Will they have long wiggly arms?
Or maybe purple hair?
Will they speak real low like this,
Or be high up here?

Will they be tall like a giraffe,
Or tiny as a flea?
No matter who they are,
They’ll be so nice to me.

I can’t wait to meet my teacher.
I wonder who they’ll be.
I wonder what they’ll be like.
Oh, I can’t wait to see.

I can’t wait to meet my teacher.
They’re such a mystery.
Oh, I wonder, I wonder who they’ll be.

Will they be really, really loud,
Or barely make a sound?
Will they talk super, super fast,
Or slow things down?

Will they dance just ’cause they want to,
Or pretend they’re a bumblebee?
No matter who they are,
They’ll be so nice to me.

I’m a little nervous
Not knowing who they’ll be.
But then I remember
What my parents said to me:

That I can be brave,
And my teacher will be great.
We’ll have so much fun.
Oh, I can’t wait.

I can’t wait to meet my teacher.
I wonder who they’ll be.
I wonder what they’ll be like.
Oh, I can’t wait to see.

I can’t wait to meet my teacher.
They’ll be happy to meet me.
Oh, I wonder, I wonder who they’ll be.

Yeah…
I wonder, I wonder,
I wonder, wonder, wonder,
I wonder who my teacher will be.

Got my backpack on my back, being cool.
I’m ready for my first day of school.
My backpack has everything I need,
All the supplies to succeed.

My notebook, pencil case, and a book,
Markers, crayons—how do I look?
Eraser, binder, and some snacks,
All packed up on my back.

Strutting with my backpack,
Strutting with my backpack,
Strutting off to school.

(Music)

Oh yeah!
I’m prepared for my very first day,
Ready for whatever comes my way.

My teacher says it’s time for art.
I pull out my crayon, and I’m ready to start.

My backpack is my toolbox.
With it on my back, I’m ready to rock.
Wherever I go, it’s always there.
My backpack follows me everywhere.

Strutting with my backpack,
Feeling cool.
Strutting with my backpack,
Strutting off to school.

Lunch box breakdown!

It’s got apples and crackers and slices of cheese,
A juice box and edamame beans.
A sandwich looks like PB&J.
Is it lunchtime yet? I can hardly wait!

There’s a boiled egg and a hummus dip.
I need something to dip—
Oh, a pita chip for extra crunch!

We’ve got popcorn balls, so I’m feeling great,
Walking down this hall.

Strutting with my backpack,
Feeling cool.
Strutting with my backpack.
Oh yeah!

At the Toy Store

What is this?
This is a big brown bear.
The bear is on the chair.

What is this?
This is a little white kite.

We go to the toy store.
What toys do we see?

We see a bear, a kite, and a big blue scooter.
The scooter is blue.
The toys are for you and me.

When you’re about to do something big,
Sometimes you get a feeling.

Like butterflies in your tummy,
Then your heart starts beating.

You got that nervous feeling,
Got the nerves and that’s ok.
That nervous feeling,
Your body says, “time to be brave!”
That nervous feeling,
You can do big things today.
Feel those nervous feelings and say:
“I’ll be brave anyway!” Hey, hey, hey!
I’ll be brave anyway! Yeah!

I got to brush my bed and make my teeth.
Wait a minute—that’s not right! I mixed that up.

I got to make my bed and brush my teeth
‘Cause I’m getting ready to go!

I got to toast my milk and pour my waffle.
Wait a minute—that’s not right! I mixed that up.

I got to pour my milk and toast my waffle
‘Cause I’m getting ready to go!

I got to pack my dog and pet my lunch.
Wait a minute—that’s not right! I mixed that up.

I got to pet my dog and pack my lunch
‘Cause I’m getting ready to go!

I got to hug my shoes and tie my mom.
Wait a minute—that’s not right! I mixed that up.

I got to tie my shoes and hug my mom
‘Cause I’m getting ready to go!

I’m getting ready, getting ready,
I’m getting ready to go!

When I get out of bed
And head into the bathroom,
I brush my teeth
Because clean teeth are good for you.

I put some toothpaste on my toothbrush,
Then run it under the water.
Now it’s time to brush!

I brush the teeth in the front
Where my smile shines through.

I brush the big teeth in the back
That help me chew.

I brush the teeth on the sides, too,
So I don’t forget any of them.

When I brush my teeth,
My mouth feels fresh and new!

Brush, brush, brush your teeth!
