Children's Songs




If You're Happy and You Know It
...Clap Your Hands (*clap *clap)!


You all know the song, right?! Well, it's a favorite around here - I probably sing it a least three times a day. All I have to say is "If you're..." and already Elijah is clapping his hands.

One of my favorite ways of teaching is through music. I remember learning the books of the Bible at a very young age with a song, and also many Scripture verses as well.

I've also really loved the "Hymns for a Kid's Heart" series. These books come with an audio CD that contains classic hymns - the quality of the singing and of the arrangements is outstanding! Each song contains a true story to enhance the song. It's great for teaching God's truths, music and history.


Here are some other fun songs to teach your kids - now if only I had room for a piano in my little house.....!
