20 French Songs That Build Your Child’s Vocabulary

A free, curated playlist that helps your child hear, remember, and begin using French animal words through music.

Want to add more French to your child’s day without planning another lesson?

Start with a song.

This free playlist includes 20 French animal songs, plus the key words to listen for in each one.

Put one on during breakfast, in the car, at tidy-up time, or whenever you want an easy moment of French exposure.

You do not need to teach every word or sing every song perfectly. Start with one song your child enjoys, listen for a few animal words together, and use those words again later in play.

What’s inside

• 20 French animal songs for young children

• A simple list of the French animal words featured in each song

• An easy way to build French vocabulary through everyday listening and play

• A no-prep French activity you can return to again and again

Why music works here

Songs give children repeated, enjoyable exposure to the same French words. When a word becomes familiar through music, it is easier for them to notice it, remember it, and begin using it in everyday moments.
