FAQS

What ages are these songs recommended for?

All of the songs above have simple lyrics and easy action motions to grasp. Preschool is a great age to start the Christian worship songs because at that age, they can really get in character with the dance moves and hand motions!

But truthfully, I think these songs are great for any age. My daughter is just 20 months old and she loves these bible songs! She can’t really do the dance moves yet, but she sure tries to get in rhythm and she definitely ‘feels’ the music. 😉

How to Implement Sunday School Songs in my Child’s Daily Routine?

These fun songs aren’t just for Sundays! Have a children’s worship at a vacation bible school event, homeschool co-op, or even a home jam out session!

Sometimes while I clean throughout the day, we’ll turn these on and ‘blast’ it over the TV. You’d be surprised how fast kids get involved with singing and dancing when they see you enjoying it too!

Another great way to incorporate these songs in everyday is to play them while you are driving or making errands. Soon your kiddos will catch on to the familiar tune of each song and memorize it’s words and motions. Then you can go into deeper discussion about why we sing about a person, how the song praises Jesus, and what scripture references are included!

How to get kids involved

The easiest way (and the best way in my opinion!) to get your kids participating is to join them! My household is a singing household.. And you’re probably thinking that I mean we were genetically blessed with singing abilities.. WRONG.

My husband and I have zero singing capabilities, in fact sometimes we screech the words out as badly as possible because hey, it’s fun. But my most favorite part about our lack of singing talent is the fact that we’re not focused on that – we’re just having a party. And our kids see that and as they are getting older have started joining along with us! Maybe they will have the gift, maybe not. But either way, we have some great laughs and memories! 😉

Final Thoughts

Teaching children Sunday school songs at a young age is a great way to share a positive message about the goodness of God, and also teach about different bible events that took place. These videos are great to show in a church classroom, but they aren’t just limited to Sundays!

Try to find ways to play these throughout your daily life. You will be amazed at how quickly your child picks up on the message and has fun memorizing the lyrics.

These Sunday school songs are great for ALL ages, but especially perfect to start around preschool age.
