Muslim Kid School will teach you the Arabic Alphabet


Rev. Lanning sings the Hebrew Alphabet


This one is honorable mention since they only sing the first three letters of the English Alphabet

One more honorable mention since this video only sings about the vowels in the English alphabet ... plus, this was such a fun 80's song, so I just wanted an excuse to post this music video.
