Christian Songs for Kids - Dare to Be a Daniel


Some time ago 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 ran in a nearby primary school each Monday.









NOW


I am going to share songs with you providing a 


Visual 
(Powerpoint or Picture or details of how you can make it) 


Words   
(chords also available)


Recording / 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.  



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



Today we are on the Theme of



 Bible Characters



The song I have chosen is 




Dare to Be a Daniel


This is a very short song based on the qualities of the Old Testament character Daniel.

Our children grew up singing it and now our grandchildren are enjoying this song too especially since their daddy was named after this person.





POWERPOINT


I made this presentation for projecting the words.

ACTIONS

Dare to be a Daniel  -  Place hands in front with palms together to show prayer 

Dare to stand alone  -  Stand to attention with arms straight down at your side

Dare to have a purpose firm  -  Point up with one hand

And Dare to make it known  -  Marching on the spot





RECORDING




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




Notes:

The words and music for this were written by P.P. Bliss

The chorus we sang for so many years is apparently simply the chorus to a song P.P. Bliss wrote which had 4 verses and was named after the first line of the song - "Standing by a Purpose True"

You can find out more about it at  Hymnary.org



Why not Pin this for future use:-






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

Christian songs for Kids - Love One Another like Sister & Brother



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



 LOVE

It is very important that our children grow up knowing about the Love of God from an early age and also the command of God that we should all love one another because God loves us.



The song I have chosen is 


 Love One Another like Sister & Brother

Not exactly sure where I first learnt this one but I do know I have been teaching it to children for many years.



It has an easy, catchy tune and very simple actions


The song teaches children that they should love everyone like family and the reason we need to do this is because God wants us to live together in love and care about each other and we learn how to love others from the way He loves us.





VISUAL

Some years ago I started to make Powerpoint Presentations of the many Kids songs I would sing with Kids in church, Sunday School and in Schools and then more recently Fred & I have been making videos using the graphics I had previously used or upgrades of them.

These are the pictures from the Powerpoint Presentation for Love One Another Like Sister & Brother









These can be printed out on cards (A4 or Letter size) and using this type of visual gives me the opportunity to involve 2 children in holding up the cards or I can hold one in each hand.

Download them HERE




WORDS

Love One Another Like Sister and Brother

Love one another like sister and brother
Cause that's the way it should be
Love one another like sister and brother
Cause that's the way it should be


Cause God loves you
And I love you 
And that's the way it should be
God loves you
And I love you 
And that's the way it should be

Love one another   -   hands held on heart
like sister and brother   -   point around
Cause that's the way it should be   -   clapping


Cause God   -  point up

And I   -  point to self

I can not find any recordings of this song other than the video that Fred and I made recently which you can watch below:

Do You Need More Good Kids Resources? - Coffee & Conversation


I have done a lot of children's work for churches over the years and one thing that I always found difficult was to get good resources especially pictures to illustrate the bible stories. 







Some years ago I found  Eikonbibleart  
I was living in Belgium at the time and trying to get more resources for the Sunday School of our church there. 





Finding this site was great as their powerpoint presentations could simply be downloaded instantly and their package deals were very good value. 

Plus the pictures are great.

Once back in Northern Ireland I was downloading again and I was still thrilled with the quality of the pictures and the fact that they were continuing to add more stories on a regular basis.  

 If you are involved in children's work or you homeschool your kids then do have a look at this site.

 Not only do you get the powerpoint presentations but they also have lesson notes, colouring sheets and puzzle sheets to go along with them.






To me another thing which is so good is that this is a British Company and in fact it is now owned by a guy from Northern Ireland and I think that is great.  
They are also on Facebook  and Twitter so check them out.
A few years ago they brought out a comic book based on the Titanic, it is great quality and very suitable to give to kids in your church, school, neighbourhood or family circle.

They now have other comics too and short films like Becky's Christmas



and not only Bible story visuals but also missionary stories meaning a good variety of illustrative resources to pick from.


For kids work at church or for homeschooling, check out this resource site.


Of course I've left the best to the end 

they even offer some free stuff so make sure you look into it soon.

Christian Songs for Kids - Good News, Good News


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 or both 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


SALVATION




 The song I have chosen is 


Good News


Another one that I learnt when I was a teenager and started to help with

This is a short but very to the point song about how salvation is the "Good News" for us.
In a few lines the gospel is presented and the song is so easy to memorize that children very soon have those words etched in their memories telling then that Jesus has died for them.

Of course they all love it when you get to the end and you shout out the word EXTRA.




VISUAL

 I have the original fold over card visual which I bought from CEF many years ago and it is still used often in our kid's club in a local school.


Unfortunately I can not find it for sale on the UK CEF website now but a new version with a second verse is available on the US CEF site



More recently I made a powerpoint for projection






To Download a copy of this powerpoint for printing on  A4 card  or  Letter size

WORDS


GOOD NEWS

Good News, Good News,
Christ died for me.
Good News, Good News,
If I believe.
Good News, Good News,
I'm saved eternally.
That's wonderful, EXTRA
Good News

ACTIONS

 Very simple for this song.

 For the first section of the song we clap
(up to eternally)
Then we cup our hands over our mouth to be able to shout the word
EXTRA in the second part





RECORDING

For this song we have a sound recording and a video both shown below











Notes:
I believe the Words are by O.G. Lewis and the song is in the public domain
but there is also a second verse which is under the copyright of CEF
More information can be found HERE  




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

This month I am taking the theme of



The Love of Jesus



The song I have chosen is 

Jesus' Love is Very Wonderful


I think this is another song that I first learnt through Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) which means I have been singing this one for around 40 years.

Kids love to do the actions for this one as it involves clapping and big arm movements.
Another thing we like to do is sing it a few times and then on the last time really speed it up.

Another great teaching tool for explaining to the children that there is nothing that cannot be encompassed by the love of Jesus.

Oh Wonderful Love

It's so high you can't get over it

So wide you can't get round it
Oh Wonderful Love

ACTIONS

 Jesus' love is very wonderful -  clapping in time to the music
Oh Wonderful Love   -  clapping in time to the music

It's so high you can't get over it  -  Point up repeatedly in time to the music with both hands, arms raised high
So low you can't get under it  -  Reach down and use an underneath motion with both hands repeatedly in time to the music
So wide you can't get around it   -  Swing arms out wide repeatedly in time to the music (making sure that the children are apart enough not to hit each other)
Oh Wonderful Love   -  clapping in time to the music

 I believe the Words are by H. W. Rattle but the composer is unknown.
