Does anybody know some songs with Geography terms in them? I'm looking for songs with words like river or mountain.
Thanks so much!

Hmmm....of the top of my head...
John Denver, Rocky Mountain High
Some "patriotic" ones
God Bless America
God Bless the USA
Woody Guthrie's This land is your land
If teaching the geographic grid system there's one my colleague uses (don't know where he got it) but it related the semi-permanent pressure zones to latitudes (and this helps locate the global wind belts/zones). You sing this to the tune of the Snow White elves song Hi Ho Hi Ho its off to work we go
Hi Lo, Hi Lo
Hi Lo, Hi Lo Down from the poles we go
90, 60, 30 zero
Hi Lo, Hi Lo
Hope these help. Best wishes in your teaching

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" would be a great choice. It has river, mountain, and even valley all in the chorus so it would be repeated several times.
