Teaching kids about animals can be lots of fun, especially when you use songs. In Turkey, there is a traditional children’s song that helps teach kids the names of various animals.

The repetition and patterns used in this traditional Turkish children's song are key to teaching kids about animals and their characteristics quickly and effectively. By repeating certain phrases throughout each verse such as “Come on, come on/Guess my name.,” it allows for young learners to easily pick up clues as to what type of animal they are learning about while also providing them with some challenge as they must figure out which animal it is based on its description.
