How can I learn to sing and play the ukulele at the same time?

I’m struggling with playing and singing a song on my ukulele at the same time, i usually get off with my strumming and i end up going a lot slower than the song really is. Anyone have any tips on how I can learn how to do this at the same time? Any good practicing techniques?
P.s. Any guitar players have any tips, its pretty much the same thing so please help
