Meet the song
Sing, learn and connect
Smart Sindara’s Yoruba Months Song introduces the months of the year through a sing-along. Families may recognise the opening names as Sere, Erele and Erena. Children can follow the video’s pronunciation and repeat small sections at their own pace.
Connect the song to a calendar so that the new words have a familiar purpose. Find the current month, a birthday or a school holiday, then practise the corresponding name together. A Yoruba-speaking parent, teacher or relative can help with pronunciation and the spelling used in your family or classroom.
