Teach cardinal directions to your young students through these fun songs. Print a compass rose and have the kids point to each direction as they are mentioned in the songs. You can also ask them to extend their arms up, down, right or left to correspond to north, south, east or west while singing the songs.
1. Cardinal Direction Song
(Sing to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
Source: Teachers Pay Teachers - Class of Kinders
If you like the oceans best
Travel east or travel west
If you like the cold and snow
North is the way you should go
If you like the hot hot sun
Head down south for lots of fun
2. Cardinal Direction Song
The sun is rising in the east
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
The sun is setting in the west!
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
My nose is north
My tail is south!
And so I turn myself about
And the sun keeps rising in the east
And setting in the west
Boom boom
boom boom boom!

That I know,
North, south, east and West we go,
Or mix-em all up,
Then go fast, not slow,
To the sunshine or the snow!

And they’re loving west and east!
She likes east!
He likes south!
Their favorite’s north and west!
