Do you find it hard to get visuals and recordings for different kids songs?
I have always found this a problem so I am now sharing songs that I have used with children providing you with
Visuals
(Powerpoint or Picture or details of how you can make one)
Words
(chords also available)
Recording
(mp3 or video to learn the song)
Then if you would like to download the visual of the song there will be a link provided to my creation, or I will direct you to where else you can find it.
This month I am taking the theme of
The song I have chosen is
Bible Stories
I thoroughly believe we should teach and encourage children to read the Bible and to grow in faith by knowledge and belief in God's Word.The song I have chosen is
I Will Make You Fishers of Men
This is a song that I learned as a child in Sunday School.
It is taken from the words of Jesus in the Bible and contains good advice for us all.
I like the children to have fun singing and doing the actions of this song.
It is also a good teaching tool.

I didn't start Sunday School until I received Jesus into my heart at 16 - so I missed out on most of the good songs. These programs make up new songs - so I'm glad your bring back some of the more traditional ones. I love it. (visiting via BoBBS)
