Parents can use these summer months to ensure that their children know the words to sixteen traditional Catholic prayers. These have been set to music by John Burland and are available on the Let’s Sing! Let’s Pray! Teaching Catholic Prayer to Children Through Song CD.
If you want to get children singing and moving, get them involved in a different kind of screen-time this summer. Let’s Gather! Let’s Sing! Growing in Faith Through Song & Movement is a two-DVD set. It’s a “best of” collection of twenty-five of John Burland’s songs with accompanying movements. Get the whole family singing and doing the body gestures to these great songs! Make sure that you also download the Study Guide to see related Scripture passages, preparation and follow-up questions, activities, and additional ideas of group movements for each song.
