Pinocchio’s Song: Good morning world! – בוקר טוב עולם

Originally, this song was part of an old cartoon that used to be on TV during the eighties. Although this song tells the story of the famous wooden boy who wanted to be a real person, it has some beautiful lines that encourage all listeners to have a great day, and to realize that there nothing is impossible to do.

A song for the seesaw: Up and down, up and down! – נד נד

This is another very typical Israeli song for children, to honor one of their favorite spots in every park: The seesaw.

If your children love going up and down on the seesaw, they’ll definitely love this Hebrew song (once they understand the lyrics, of course). Here’s an idea: take your kids to your nearest playground, bring a few speakers with you and play this song along.

The ant – הנמלה

Ants are amazing, and this song makes it very clear. It tells the story of an ant, what she ate, and all the songs she sang. This one has a bit more vocabulary than the other songs we have shown you in this article, so it could be a great way to learn even more Hebrew words. What do you say?
