Christian Songs for Kids - I Will Make You Fishers of Men


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

 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.

If you want to grow.

ACTIONS

First Verse
Act as if you are holding a fishing rod and throw out the fishing line each time you sing "fishers of men"
Use forefinger to indicate coming towards you as you sing "if you follow me"

Second Verse
Hands held together palms up in front of you as you sing "Read your Bible"
Hands held together as in prayer as you sing "Pray every day"

Hold one hand out flat palm facing downwards and lift up in stepping motion as you sing "if you want to grow"

Christian Songs for Kids - Whisper a Prayer.


Previously I talked about not being able to find many powerpoint presentations to illustrate Christian Songs for Kids.





I had got to the point where I was making my own to use in our Church, Sunday School and an After School Bible Club our church runs in a nearby primary school each Monday.

NOW

I am going to try to share songs with you providing a 
Visual 
(Powerpoint or Picture or details of how you can make it) 
Words   
(chords also available)
Recording  
(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.   

Also don't forget you can go to the side bar on the right (or see the link at the end of this blogpost and sign up for an email reminder of my posts. Then you will know when the next song is posted.



This song is in the theme of

 PRAYER

I thoroughly believe we should teach and encourage children to pray.
The song I have chosen is 

 WHISPER A PRAYER

I first got familiar with this song when I got involved in Child Evangelism Fellowship and had a Good News Club in our home before we even had any children ourselves.

I used to have an old circular visual for it (the template was provided by CEF) where there was a circle of card behind another circle which had a sector cut out of it at the top and the two cards were held together by a pin.  The words "Whisper a prayer in"  were written on the front card and also the words "to keep your heart in tune" and as you sang the song you rotated the back circle so that a picture of a rising sun appeared for "morning", a picture of a full sun appeared for "noon" and a picture of a moon came up for "evening".

Recently I designed & made a new (slightly different) visual for it because my old one was so tattered. 



VISUAL


To See a Tutorial of how this visual was made click on the picture above and you will be taken to my other site The Ark Page containing tutorials and other resources for Kids Work.
 

I like to use this song to settle the children down to be ready to pray.

But it can also be used to teach the children about praying regularly each day and linked in with the story of Daniel.




WORDS
WHISPER A PRAYER

 Whisper a prayer in the morning
Whisper a prayer at noon
Whisper a prayer in the evening
To keep your heart in tune.


God answers prayer in the morning
God answers prayer at noon
God answers prayer in the evening
So keep your heart in tune.
ACTIONS

We usually sing this one reverently & quietly without any actions.

 RECORDING

My husband likes to experiment with recording music so at different times he has made some recordings for kids songs for me and this is one he made  -  you won't recognize the voices in the recording but you might be able to guess who they belong to.





Special "Thank You" to my husband Fred who looks after the Recordings and the Chords



I Hope you enjoy the song and this is a help to you.



Notes:
As far as I can see the author of this song is listed as anonymous for further details 
see here

 I did find some info on an arranger of the music see here

If anyone has any further info on this song please let me know.

Christian Songs for Kids - He's Alive!



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

EASTER
I want to do an Easter song now in advance to give you time to prepare.



The song I have chosen is 

He's Alive



Although I first learned this song as part of adult worship I love to do this with the kids groups as they always enjoy clapping to the beat and they need to know that 
Jesus is ALIVE!


My husband is a worship leader but also accompanies the children a lot on the guitar and he will go up the keys while playing this with the kids just as he would in church worship time.






My original visual for this was made many years ago and was a large piece of pink card see below.






This original visual was hand written on A1 card and then covered in clear sticky plastic to help protect it and it did a good job because that visual can still be used today if necessary.


Then more recently I redesigned it on Powerpoint to be projected and also to be printed out on A4 cards

WORDS

Let all the earth rejoice He's Alive.

ACTIONS

VIDEO
My husband and I have created several singalong videos of Kids Songs and this song is included in that playlist.  
  

 


Our Kids Song at the Ark playlist can be found at HERE on YouTube 



AUDIO RECORDING




Special "Thank You" to my husband Fred who looks after the Recordings and Chords




Notes:
I have found some versions of a song with this as a chorus except the words are very slightly different and we have always sung it to a different tempo as well.
I have also found the chorus part on it's own attributed to

Shawn Craig

1985 Above And Beyond Music

CCLI Song # 98767

I Hope you enjoy the song and this is a help to you.
