Hi there,
For Adeline, it would be “A-D-E-L-I-N-E. That’s how we spell Adeline.” I hope that helps!

Hi Barbara,
A 13 letter name is sure a tricky one! You could use the first part of Hickory Dickory dock to spell out the name. You would use the first two lines for the letters. “Hickory dickory dock. The mouse ran up the clock.” Then you can finish the song with “That is how you spell my name. Sing it again with me!”
Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for letting me know about the problem, Casey! It’s been fixed so you can see the videos right here:

I hope your kiddos love them!

Hi Amy,
Thanks for reaching out.
However, we don’t currently offer a printable version of the name song. You are welcome to pass this link along to the parents of your students though 🙂

Is there a printable available that I can send home with parents of my students for all of these name songs??

Hi Ashley,
Thanks for reaching out.
For 9 letter names, we suggest using the tune “The Itsy Bitsy Spider.”
You’ll sing the letters of the name 3 times, then end with “That spells _________ all day!”
Hope that helps!

You are very welcome, Chandra!

Hi Kristi,
Thanks for reaching out. In that section are the videos where Malia demonstrates using the songs with 3-7 letter names.
It might be taking some time to load, so you could let it sit for a bit or try viewing the page on a different browser.
I hope that helps!

That is just wonderful, Peggy!
Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi Erica! “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” works really well for 9 letter names! The words would sound like this:

(Sung to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)

A-L-E-X-A-N-D-R-A spells Alex-andra.

Depending on the name, you may need to stretch out one of the sounds for two counts like I did in this example. 🙂

Hi Joanita! Yes! I like to use the “Happy Birthday” tune for 8 letter names. I spell the name four times so it sounds like this:

(Sung to the Happy Birthday tune!)

B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y
B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y
B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y
B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y

Just make sure to sing it really slowly so that every letter can be clearly heard. 🙂

Hi Kelly! Great question! I like to use the “Happy Birthday” tune for 8 letter names. I basically spell the name four times so it sounds like this:

(Sung to the Happy Birthday tune!)

B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y
B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y
B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y
B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y

Just make sure to sing it really slowly so that every letter can be clearly heard. 🙂

My daughter’s babe is Elizabeth, so I need a 9 letter song too lol

Everything is blank under the three-seven letter name songs until it gets to the editable name games. Any ideas as to why? I was just hoping to know more about the songs you use with more and less letters than 5!

Thanks

Just found this page, but I do have a song in mind:

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping? …. (Brother John…)

Very cute; thanks!

Another 6 letter tune: 3 blind mice, 3 blind mice.

Thank you, Karen, for your kind words!
I hope your children love singing the songs as much as we do.

So smart, Jodie! Isn’t it amazing how music helps kids remember how to spell words?!
