Product DescriptionThese delightful songs and short stories were especially created for young children to show how God is an integral part of their daily lives. They were designed to inspire a joyful appreciation of God's presence in their lives through His many gifts to them. Children will see that GOD REALLY IS FOR EVERY DAY! The "God Is For Every Day®" CD includes 49 tracks. The first part of the recording introduces the children to 8 themes, such as the "Lord, I'm So Grumpy" theme. Each theme includes a story and song, and each story and song includes its own short introduction. The story/song combinations use a positive and often humorous approach to children's everyday problems and concerns. The second half of the recording is designed to be especially effective in teaching children to learn songs by following Angelika's crisp, clear voice recorded on voice-only tracks, and then provides music-only tracks so that children can sing along. Recommended for ages 3-9, for classrooms from preschool through 3rd grade and for anyone who is young at heart. We have found that many preschoolers love to hear and learn the songs because the songs were specifically composed to be easy to learn. Their older brothers and sisters enjoy singing along with them, too. Even the most hesitant singer can learn the songs and perform them in a children's choir or school presentation. Why the God Is For Every Day ® CD? This is children's music that, as sung by Angelika, is clear and easy for children to understand. The melodies are not overpowered by a lot of competing background. It comes with all the lyrics so that children can learn the songs and sing along with Angelika or on their own with the provided accompaniment. And best of all, it reaches a deeply spiritual place in the listener's heart. It shows children what it is like to actually experience God in their daily lives. The CD can be used for many different age groups. Many people have purchased the CD as baby or christening gifts. The second half of the CD has musical accompaniment alternated with voice-only, which is very soothing for before bed or naptime. Home schools, daycare centers and preschools can play a story and song set for music time, Bible time, or before rest time. Preschool children can learn many of the songs. For those more lengthy songs, the preschool children can sing the refrain in response to older children or adults singing the verses. Kindergarten and primary grade classes can use the CD in Sunday School, cherub choir, day camp or Vacation Bible School. The materials can also be used to aid in teaching reading, language or voice. Babysitters or older brothers and sisters can use it in their babysitting bag. Parents can use one or more of the themes to deal with certain issues. For instance, if their child seems to be feeling very lonely and lost, they might play the "Jesus is My Friend" theme and talk about it together. If their child doesn't feel like like feeding the family pet, or has lost a pet, it might help to play or read the "God Loves the Animals" theme story. Grandparents and Great grandparents often like to give the set to their grandchildren in order to pass along their faith. A play or presentation can be created with the stories and songs, with easier and more difficult parts being assigned according to age and ability.
These stories and songs are also availabe in a book as well as a book/CD set.
