Let’s Sing the Backwards Alphabet Song!

Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with the alphabet? Today, we’re going to sing the alphabet in a brand-new way. Instead of starting with A, we’re going to start with Z and go all the way to A. Let’s get started!

Starting with Z!

First, let’s say the letters starting from Z. Here we go:

Z! Y! Z, Y, X! Y, X, W! V! U! V, U, T! T, S, R, Q, P! O! N! M, L, K! After K comes letter J! I, H, G! F, E, D! Then C, then B, then A!

Let’s Sing Together!

Now, let’s sing the Backwards Alphabet Song together! We start with Z and end with A. Ready? Let’s go!

Z! Y! Z, Y, X! Y, X, W! V! U! V, U, T! T, S, R, Q, P! O! N! M, L, K! After K comes letter J! I, H, G! F, E, D! Then C, then B, then A! Hooray!

Putting It All Together

Let’s try putting all the letters together in one go:

Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T. S, R, Q, then P, O, N. M, L, K, J, I, H, G. Then comes F, then E, then D! Three more to go! Then C, then B, then A!

Sing Again!

Let’s sing the Backwards Alphabet Song one more time! I think we’ve all learned how. Ready? Let’s start with Z and end with A. All together now! Hooray!

Great Job!

You did an amazing job singing the alphabet backwards! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a pro at it. Singing the alphabet in different ways can be so much fun!

  • What was your favorite part about singing the alphabet backwards? Why do you think it was fun or different?
  • Can you think of other things you know how to do backwards, like counting or saying your name? How does it feel to try them in a new way?
  • Why do you think learning to do things differently, like singing the alphabet backwards, can be helpful or exciting? Can you think of a time when you learned something new in a fun way?
  1. Alphabet Treasure Hunt: Go on a treasure hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with each letter of the alphabet, but in reverse order! Start with something that begins with Z, like a zebra toy or a picture of a zebra, and work your way to A. Can you find an object for every letter?

  2. Backwards Alphabet Dance: Create a fun dance move for each letter of the alphabet starting from Z to A. As you sing the Backwards Alphabet Song, perform your dance moves. Invite your friends or family to join in and see who can remember all the moves!

  3. Letter Detective: Become a letter detective and look for letters in reverse order in books, signs, or magazines. Can you find the letter Z first? How about Y, X, and so on? Keep track of how many letters you find and share your discoveries with your classmates or family.
