If you're a parent of a toddler, chances are you’ve had “Yes Yes Vegetables” or “Bath Song” stuck in your head more times than you’d care to admit. Love it or tolerate it, CoComelon has become a global preschool phenomenon—and for good reason.
With its catchy tunes and bright visuals, it teaches more than ABCs and numbers. In fact, CoComelon subtly weaves social etiquette and manners into its musical universe.
Here are 10 CoComelon songs that model really good manners in kids.
1. “Please and Thank You”
This one’s a manners classic. It teaches kids the value of saying "please" and "thank you" in different everyday situations—like asking for help or receiving something. The lyrics are repetitive and simple, which is great for reinforcing polite language through song.
2. “Sharing Song”
This song tackles the common toddler challenge of not wanting to share toys. It gently shows how sharing with friends can lead to more fun. By modeling turn-taking and cooperative play, it builds empathy in an age-appropriate way.
3. “The Sorry Song”
Saying sorry isn’t always easy for little ones, but this sweet and thoughtful tune teaches when and how to apologize. It also explains that apologies should come from the heart—not just out of obligation.
4. “The Clean Up Song”
While not traditionally thought of as a "manners" song, this tune encourages children to take responsibility for their space, showing respect for shared environments. Cleaning up after oneself is, after all, a good-manners must.
5. “The Thank You Song”
Separate from “Please and Thank You,” this song focuses on expressing gratitude to those who help us—like parents, teachers, and even friends. It normalizes appreciation as a part of daily interaction.
6. “Yes Yes Bedtime”
Manners also extend to routines and listening to caregivers. This song shows how following instructions—like brushing teeth, putting on pajamas, and going to sleep—can be positive and rewarding.
7. “Excuse Me Song”
This underrated gem teaches polite interruption. Kids learn when and how to say “excuse me” in different situations—whether someone is talking, eating, or walking by. It’s a golden rule wrapped in a toddler-friendly beat.
8. “No No Play Safe Song”
While the focus is on safety, it teaches respectful boundary-setting and social cues—like not grabbing, pushing, or yelling. Knowing how to be safe while being kind? Double win.
9. “Playdate with Cody”
This song shows kids how to be gracious hosts and good friends. It covers everything from saying hello politely to offering toys and snacks. Great for kids who are just starting to socialize outside the home.
10. “Time to Go”
Saying goodbye with grace is an underrated skill, and this song helps kids transition smoothly from one activity to another. It encourages farewells with a smile—not tears—and shows how to leave politely.
Conclusion
CoComelon might not be every parent’s first choice for background music, especially after the tenth loop, but when it comes to teaching good manners, it truly delivers. These songs aren’t just entertainment—they’re life lessons dressed in melody and rhythm.
