The Eight Smarts Song
By Ruth Johnston, former Indiana CLASS Cadre Coach
Faculty at Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana
Tune: The Brady Bunch theme song
Did you know that every person here is smart?
Intelligence is shown in many ways.
Think of hobbies and what you love to do
And reasons you get praise.
Intelligence, intelligence
There are eight ways to show intelligence.
When you’re WORD SMART it means you’re good at reading
Doing speeches, writing stories, listening.
MATH AND LOGIC people work well with numbers
And problem solving.
The BODY SMART folks love hands-on learning
And move their bodies with skill and control.
If you like rhythm or sing or play piano
MUSIC is in your soul.
Intelligence, intelligence
There are eight ways to show intelligence
PICTURE SMART people create art objects
Or rearrange a room inside their mind.
If animals and plants and bugs keep your attention
Through NATURE you’re defined.
SELF SMART is to know your thoughts and feelings
And enjoy time reflecting all alone.
PEOPLE SMART means working well with others
Or motivating them with a microphone.
Intelligence, intelligence
There are eight ways to show intelligence.
