VOWEL FAMILY

Children will have an easier time remembering the short vowel sounds with this song.

The Vowel Family
(Tune:  “BINGO”)

Aunt Aggie had an allergy
and she would always sneeze-o  (Pretend to sneeze.)
/a/a/a/a/a/  /a/a/a/a/a/  /a/a/a/a/a/  
And she would always sneeze-o.

Grandpa Eddie stayed in shape
and he would exercise-o         (Pretend to lift weights.)
/e/e/e/e/e/  /e/e/e/e/e/   /e/e/e/e/e/
He liked to exercise-o.

Baby Izzi had chicken pox
and she would always itch-o.         (Scratch body.)
/i/i/i/i/i/  /i/i/i/i/i/  /i/i/i/i/i/
And she would always itch-o.

Cousin Otto’s throat was sore
And this is what he’d say-o.         (Put hand on throat.)
/o/o/o/o/o/  /o/o/o/o/o/  /o/o/o/o/o/
And this is what he’d say-o.

Uncle Unk wore underwear
and it did stink-o.         (Hold nose.)
/u/u/u/u/u/  /u/u/u/u/u/   /u/u/u/u/u/
And it did stink-o.
Some cute teachers from Cook Elementary in Grand Blanc, Michigan, dressed up like the Vowel Family for Halloween.
