I’m a lover of music to teach all sorts of educational concepts. Music can be a fun way to reinforce manners rules, too. Here are some free manners songs that are great for character education at home or in the classroom.
I’m just listing free resources here. You can typically find links to buy the CDs for songs on YouTube if you wish.
Note: Some of the YouTube videos are a bit too cheesy for my taste, but I’m including ones that have nice songs even if I’m not a fan of the presentation. I would teach those songs without the video accompaniment. Some of the songs can be simplified or adapted to teach the manners you’re working on with your child or students, too.
UPDATE: This post was my most popular post from 2015 and part of the collaborative Best Craft, Education & Parenting Posts of 2015.

Songs are a good idea for children to really listen. I have a two and a half year old great grand daughter that we are trying to teach manners to. Seems like now days parents don’t teach their children manners unfortunately. When my daughter and grandson was young I did teach them to say thank you, please and no sir, yes sir.

These are wonderful videos! I can’t wait to use some of the songs with my daughter. I think music is one of the most powerful learning tools. I can’t wait to explore your blog more. I came across your blog from the Life With More Babies Wednesday linkup.
