The ABC Song: A fun alphabet song you can sing along to.
Many of you probably sang the “ABC Song,” set to the melody of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” when you were learning the alphabet as a child.
Because you can naturally and enjoyably memorize the alphabet along with the melody, almost like lyrics, we’d love for children to listen to it a lot and deepen their interest.
So this time, we’ll introduce various versions of the ABC Song, along with several other alphabet songs for kids.
Some of these songs also teach different pronunciations of the letters, so be sure to listen and hum along with your child!
ABC Song. A fun-to-sing alphabet song (1–10)
ABC song
Here is the version of the “ABC Song” most commonly sung today, set to the melody of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Basically, as in the familiar version, you sing the alphabet in order.
However, there are some key differences: the alignment of letters and melody is slightly shifted, and at the end it includes the line, “Won’t you sing with me next time?” The stretch from L through P goes by in a quick flurry, so if you’re not used to it, you might get left behind.
Because of the final invitational line, a recommended way to sing it is for a kindergarten or nursery teacher—or a parent/guardian—to perform it first as a model, and then have the children join in afterward.
Dinosaur ABCPinkittsu
This song, which helps children enjoy learning the alphabet and dinosaurs, features a bright, poppy melody.
It rhythmically introduces a dinosaur name for each letter of the alphabet, and the repeated lyrics make it easy to remember.
Released by Pinkfong in September 2021, the track is included in “Pinkfong Dinosaur Songs Season 1” and became very popular on YouTube and streaming services.
Combining education and entertainment, it’s perfect for singing and dancing along with kids who are interested in dinosaurs.

It sings about the shapes of each letter of the alphabet and familiar alphabets you see around you, making it easy to picture the letter forms.
The tune has a somewhat whimsical feel, so even children can enjoy listening to it.
ABCD In the Morning Brush your Teeth
This song, which lets kids have fun learning the alphabet and the importance of brushing their teeth, is perfect for building daily habits.
Set to a rhythmic melody, the lyrics encourage morning toothbrushing while singing the alphabet from A to Z—very memorable.
Provided by Lingokids, the song is popular as early childhood education content.
Even children who struggle with morning routines might enjoy brushing their teeth while listening to it.
In childcare settings, incorporating it during morning brushing time or English time would likely get kids excited and eager to participate!
Phonics Song
This is a song created to help learn the relationship between sounds and letters.
For example, with the letter “C,” it can be read with an S sound, like “see,” but it can also be read with a K sound, like “cat.” This song teaches the different pronunciations that the same letter can have.
There are also versions with different melodies: “Phonics Song 2 (new version)” and “Phonics Song 3.”
Alphabet Dance
This song lets children learn the alphabet in a fun, sing-along way, offering an interactive learning experience where they can move their bodies as they learn.
Set to bright, pop-style music, kids perform various actions for each letter from A to Z, helping them naturally remember the sounds and shapes of the letters.
It’s perfect for children who love to be active.
Try singing and dancing along with your child, practicing English pronunciation together!
Abc Alphabet Song
This song is very similar to the alphabet song sung to the famous melody of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” However, this version sings the alphabet more carefully.
It divides the letters into groups of about eight starting from A, and slowly sings each letter twice.
When it reaches Z, there’s a prompt that says, “Next, let’s sing together.” From the second time onward, the tempo keeps speeding up—so watch out! You still repeat each letter twice, but if your body isn’t used to the ABC order, you might get left behind.
Try repeating the slow version a few times, then challenge yourself with the faster version!
