Full Lyrics
Who and what and when and where
Why and how are everywhere
Question words can help us see
How to ask more carefully.
Who is here and what is that?
When do we wear boots and hat?
Where is home and why is rain?
Question words help us explain.
Who, what, when, where, why, how
Let's learn all the words right now
Ask a question, look around
Language learning grows by sound.
About This Song
Question Words Song introduces children to the basic words that start many early conversations and classroom questions. These words matter because they help children ask for information instead of only reacting to what they hear.
Parents can use this song to support speaking and listening at the same time. After a verse, you can ask a real who or where question about the room, the family, or the child’s day.
This kind of practice strengthens confidence with language. It also helps children understand what adults mean when they hear question forms in stories, at school, or in daily conversation.
How to Make the Song More Interactive
A helpful idea is to pause after each question word and invent a quick example together. That turns the song into active speaking practice instead of passive listening.
You can also pair this page with picture books. Ask who, what, where, and why questions about each page, then return to the song so the child hears the same structure again.
