Schoolhouse Rock Fill-In the blank
I have typed up the lyrics to 3 of the history songs (No More Kings, Shot Heard Round the World and the Preamble) but have removed certain words. My students watch the video once and then fill in the lyrics as we listen a second (and sometimes third) time to the song. I wanted a way for them to interact with the video and get the songs stuck in their heads! It is great as the start to a unit and as a fun wrap up.If you would like all 11 America Rock songs including I'm Just a Bill and Sufferi

Ancient Greece and Rome Rap
This rap is a parody of the Notorious BIG song, Juicy. Here is a sample (I recommend you have an idea of how the original song goes):
"It was once all Crete
I used to read Homer’s Odyssey
Sailing boats off the Aegean Sea
Carving pictures on the wall
Every Persian Attack, and Phalanx won’t fall
Pericles let his vote rock 'til his the stones drops
Black and white rocks, helots in fields about to get crops
Way back, when they traded this and that
Watch a discus match
Remember Chief God Zeus,

People in Your Neighborhood-Community Workers Song
This takes a favorite Sesame Street Song "Who are The People in Your Neighborhood" and changes it to talk about the various people that you would find in your community. It names each person and then gives a function for each worker. This is a really fun song that most children love to sing. It's enjoyable and it teaches them information about community workers at the same time. What a great way to teach about community occupations.

The United States Government Jam (funny, engaging music video about govt basics)
This is a MUST for any GOVERNMENT teacher. I had my students memorize the song in middle school and they come back and consistently tell me they still remember the song in high school and college and that it really helps!!! Print out three pages of preview to get copy of lyrics, and a written activity with key. There is an AWFUL, but memorably AWFUL recording to go along with the PPT.

Lawmaking Process at the National Level
In December we started teaching the process by which a bill becomes a law at the national level. Because it was close to the holidays I thought it would put the process to music. I ended up with "Joy to the World! A Bill has Come!" It was fun to watch the students take the test and hear them humming the song so they would get the answer correct. They can even change a few words around and have it work for the state lawmaking process as well.
