Bible Rhymes and Songs

This is organized in sets of two... first a song or rhyme (or two) and then a craft to compliment them. Each set has a title that I hope will help you work them into themes you may be planning.

I've included my favorite complimentary craft in each listing on this page, but there are usually more ideas if you poke around the site a bit!

Have any rhymes or songs you'd like to share? Email them to me! I'd love to have help *grin*. We don't send any rhymes and poems by email, if you want a rhyme or song please go to the link and print them out for your Sunday School class or family.

If we haven't included the tune with a song, we've tried to find it and couldn't or we just don't have access to it. We've included the songs anyway because people have appreciated finding the words to "the old songs they once knew."
