Sing a song!

Children like to sing! No surprise there! And those of you who teach children (at home, church, or school) know that songs are one of the most effective ways that children learn.

Gracie singing and signing "Teach Me Your Way"

We use songs so much in our children's work at church. In fact, some of their songs of choice ARE scripture. They have learned more scripture than they would have learned just by rote memory. Our kiddos have learned the Ten Commandments by singing them. No, they haven't learned them the conventional way - but they know them and will remember them! In fact, it is one of their absolute favorite songs to sing! (and BOY does it get stuck in your head!!!) :)

They insisted we sing the 10 Commandments Song at VBS. I was glad to comply!

I am passionate about good music for children - especially Scripture songs. I love Steve Green's albums for kids, as well as the Teach Me Your Way albums from Homestead Heritage.

More recently, however, I have discovered Seeds Family Worship. These albums put a more "modern" twist on Scripture songs, and they aren't just for children. They really are geared for the whole family.

Here's a peek at one of my favorite songs:


That's not the end of this post though... I would like to give a Seeds of Faith cd to two of my readers. If you would enjoy this music, just leave a comment and include the words "ENTER ME" in it. That's it! :) I will pick the winners next Tuesday! :)

Also, I'd love to hear about some of your favorite teaching songs! How has music helped you learn?

PS~ This is not a promo. Seeds Family Worship doesn't even know I exist. I just like their songs, got a good deal and wanted to share!! The cd I bought for the give-a-way actually comes with two identical cds. So I am splitting up the packet to send one to two different people. :)
