Put it to Music - Singing to Learn

I can still sing the lyrics to the McDonald's Big Mac song from the 70's. 


"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a seasame seed bun".

When you put something to music it is a breeze to memorize.

Homeschool mentor, Carole Joy Seid introduced to me a company called Seeds Family Worship. Professional sounding scripture songs that the whole family can enjoy. What I love about these songs is that they are strictly scripture - nothing added. Also, vocals are primarily adults singing with a little help from kids, instead of the other way around.

For young children, I've enjoyed using Steve Green's Hide em In Your Heart scripture songs. Lots of little voices with Steve mixed in. My only complaint is that there is too much talking.

When my kids were growing we always had Mr. Donut Man going in the car. His CDs usually follow a theme with one scripture memory verse per CD. Again, too much extraneous talking but a wide variety of musical styles.


There are so many more scripture song resources on YouTube. Just type in "scripture memory songs" and you are set. Troy and Genie Nilsson, Integrity Music, God's Kids Worship, are just a few.
