25 Sunday School Songs Kids Love to Sing — Songs and Medleys

Individual songs and grouped selections

The original list includes “Arky Arky,” “Down in My Heart,” “Whisper a Prayer” and “Father Abraham.” “The Light Medley” and “The Jesus Medley” sit together in the middle of the program. A medley groups several songs within one selection; the preserved list keeps the package title and its twenty numbered entries visible together.

A welcome game can also join several small parts into one sequence. Start with arriving, finding a place, doing something together and saying farewell. Each picture gives a player a turn to add an original sentence or gesture.

Build a welcome-circle picture chain

Draw four large pictures: a doorway, a seat, a shared task and a farewell wave. Arrange them in a circle or a row where everyone can see them. Add a paper visitor who will move through the gathering.

At the doorway, one player invents a greeting. At the seat, another offers the visitor a choice of places. For the shared task, choose something simple to imagine, such as arranging flowers in a drawing or making a sign for the table.

Pass the pictures or point to them in turn. Each player can speak, draw or make a comfortable gesture. Give the visitor a response too: perhaps they would like to help choose the sign’s colors or introduce a friend.

Make room for a new visitor

Add a second character with a different idea for the shared task. Work out how both visitors can contribute. One might draw a flower while the other writes the welcome sign, bringing the two parts together at the center of the picture chain.

At the farewell picture, invite each character to name one detail they want to remember. Optional chosen music can accompany the gathering. The greetings and responses belong to your group’s invented scene, with room for each player to take part in their own way.
