Geography song: UK Capitals

This Geography video is a pupil-facing song that helps children learn the capital cities of the UK and which countries they belong to. With catchy, repetitive lyrics and a simple melody, the song reinforces key geographical knowledge: London is the capital of England, Edinburgh is in Scotland and home to a castle, and Cardiff, the capital of Wales, lies on the coastline. The tune and rhythm help make these facts memorable for young learners.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Geography scheme for Key Stage 1. It supports pupils in developing locational knowledge and recognising the UK’s capital cities, in lessons like the ones below:
