Does anybody know some songs with Geography terms in them? I’m looking for songs with words like river or mountain.

Thanks so much!

Hmmm….of the top of my head…

John Denver, Rocky Mountain High

Some “patriotic” ones

God Bless America

God Bless the USA

Woody Guthrie’s This land is your land

If teaching the geographic grid system there’s one my colleague uses (don’t know where he got it) but it related the semi-permanent pressure zones to latitudes (and this helps locate the global wind belts/zones). You sing this to the tune of the Snow White elves song Hi Ho Hi Ho its off to work we go

Hi Lo, Hi Lo

Hi Lo, Hi Lo Down from the poles we go

90, 60, 30 zero

Hi Lo, Hi Lo

Hope these help. Best wishes in your teaching

“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” would be a great choice. It has river, mountain, and even valley all in the chorus so it would be repeated several times.

Being on the previous area, yet whilst i think of of geography songs, the only which is composed of recommendations is “i’ve got been everywhere.” The song “i’ve got been everywhere” became written by ability of Geoff Mack in 1959 and made universal by ability of the singer fortunate Starr in 1962. It listed Australian cities. It became later tailored for North American (in maximum cases united states of america) place names and by ability of John Hore (later favourite as John Grenell) with New Zealand place names (1966). The song became a style a million hit in united states of america song in November 1962 contained in america for the recording artist Hank Snow. The song became additionally recorded by ability of : Lynn Anderson (us of a 1970); Asleep on the Wheel (us of a 1973); Johnny money (us of a 1996); Chip Dockery; Ted Egan; the “Farrelly Brothers” from the television sequence The Aunty Jack coach (Australia 1974 (parody)); John Grenell (NZ 1966); Mike Ford (Canada, 2005); Rolf Harris (uk 1963); Clifton Jansky; Willie Nelson; and The Statler Brothers.
