Download multiplication songs for your kids to learn their times tables. This works really well if your children love music and learn best with music.
Best Multiplication Songs for Kids
Spoiler alert: most of the commercial multiplication songs we’ve found aren’t interesting to kids. They’re preschool-style music which doesn’t appeal to elementary age children. Bummer. But, let me tell you what your options are and my favorites.
1. Flocabulary
I LOVE Flocabulary! Their video rap songs require a subscription which you can try for free then pay $10 / month. I like that the songs aren’t dorky or babyish – they’re pretty catchy actually. I think these are the best multiplication songs for kids.
See for yourself.
2. Songs for Teaching
The website Songs for Teaching has a huge selection of songs and raps for multiplication. But honestly, none of them are that catchy for us. We did buy Music with Mar from this website. I like that you can preview all the songs.
3. Rock N Learn
Rock N Learn has multiplication music videos which are cute and catchier than most other choices. We’re not big TV viewers so this isn’t a good option for us. But, they also have these as iPad apps — see more about those here.
4. GrooveShark
If you go to GrooveShark, the website that allows you to play music for free, search multiplication and you’ll be able to see many other multiplication music choices including the wonderful School House Rock.

Your style is very unique compared to other folks I’ve read stuff from.
Many thanks for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I will just book mark this blog.
Just wanted to let you know that apparently Grooveshark is no longer available, according to that link. Bummer.
On a cheerier note, I really enjoy your fb posts & your lists of recommended books for specific age groups. Keep them coming!
Hi! Great artical I am a music producer, and I have just finished my masterpiece… a times tables album that is not cheesy, that is challenging and fun to sing, and that appeals to parents too! These are songs aimed at kids that already know the words to Taylor Swift and Beiber! I’d love to hear your feedback. All demos are here: timestablesmusic.com …. and a full song here https://youtu.be/S8O0D0TWxs8 If you would be interested in supporting this project I’d be most grateful!

SO agree that songs need to be the opposite of corny to appeal to kids. Love your list. Will share around. Thanks!
