Songs About Making Mistakes — and Trying Again
Young children get things wrong all day long: the wrong animal sound, the wrong shoes, the cup that spills, the tower that falls. These eight MoMo Star TV songs treat mistakes as part of playing and part of learning — from a silly “oops”, to finding out you were wrong, to saying sorry, to building it all again.

Oops! Mistakes you can laugh at
Start here. Silly mistakes are the easiest ones to giggle at — and giggling comes before fixing.
Momo Gets It Wrong
The wrong answer. An animal-sounds guessing game for toddlers on the farm — the cover’s speech bubbles read “Moo!”, “Woof?”, “Woof!” and “Meow!” Getting it wrong is the game.
What's Wrong, Momo?
Spot the mistake. Momo’s outfit is all mixed up and Panda and Bunny are giggling. A spot-the-error song about silly moments and learning together — “Get it right next time!”
Almost
The stumble. Momo trips across the playground and spills a red cup while Panda gasps. An action song and a silly song.
Thinking again
Sometimes the mistake is in what you were sure about.
I Thought I Knew
Changing your mind. At the edge of a half-frozen pond, with a duck swimming in the open water: a learning song about critical thinking and changing your mind.
Saying sorry
When a mistake hurts something — or someone.
A Borrowed Sorry
Making it right. A broken flower vase by the rug. The cover calls it an apology song about taking responsibility and making things right.
Trying again
Three covers name the idea outright: growth mindset, perseverance and persistence.
Momo Builds Again
When it falls down. Momo builds again with blocks on the beach — a resilience song about growth mindset. The cover’s line: “Things fall. Good things grow.”
Wobble Wobble Whoa
When you nearly fall. The three friends wobble on a garden wall — a preschool balance song about confidence and perseverance. “Not today!”
Momo's Smallest Push
When it’s too hard alone. Momo, Panda, Bunny and one small ladybug push a huge boulder together. A teamwork song about persistence — and only 68 seconds long.
Ideas for grown-ups
- Laugh first, fix later. Starting with an oops song makes mistakes something to giggle at before they’re something to fix.
- Borrow the cover lines. “Get it right next time.” “Things fall. Good things grow.” “Not today!” Short words a child can say to themselves when something goes wrong.
- For a growth-mindset lesson: play the three “trying again” songs in a row — they run about 7 minutes together.
- When the mistake involved someone else, A Borrowed Sorry is the one to reach for: it’s about making things right, not just about feeling bad.
