Bible Action Songs

Bible Action Songs Teach Bible Verses and Stories to Kids in a Fun Way

The best way to teach kids something is to make it fun for them to learn. Their active minds will quickly pick up something that's fun to do, and Bible action songs are a great way to engage them and teach them about the Bible. These are Bible verses and stories that have been made into songs that are especially suitable for children, and they have actions that go with the words. These songs are ideal for getting children involved so they learn and remember verses and stories from the Bible while they're having fun singing and acting.

Why is music an especially effective teaching tool for children? The combination of the lyrics and the rhythm make the songs easy to remember, and actions make it fun. This unique blend of features engrosses the children so they learn and understand the message of the song. And they enjoy themselves while they're doing it. Kids' Bible action songs put the Christian message in musical form and illustrate it with accompanying motions. The words go with the beat of the song and make it easy for the children to remember them.

An added value of children's Bible songs is that they present the Bible message in a way that is not offensive to people that are not Christians. That's important because many people who hear the songs may not share the Christian beliefs. They may not be open to hearing the gospel message, but Bible songs are a way to share our faith without making unbelievers uncomfortable.

It's also important for children to learn Bible songs because they will remember those songs even when they are old. They will be a comfort and help to them for their entire lives. Older people often remember what they memorized when they were young even when they are no longer able to learn new things.

Some CDs that have great Bible action songs for kids by EMI CMG Distribution are: Dear God, Hear Us Sing! 100 Bible Songs for Kids; Wee Sing Bible Songs; 100 Bible songs & One Hundred Bible Stories (3 CD set); and Action Bible Songs - Wee Worship Kids (double CD). You can find these excellent CDs and many more either at a nearby store that sells Christian music or online.

It's a challenge to teach new things to young children. You need to be creative and imaginative in finding ways to get their attention. And Bible action songs are a wonderful way to get kids to learn Bible verses and stories by heart and have fun while they're doing it!
