Suggestions for What to Teach

The hymns are designed for the whole family to learn and sing together—all the stanzas. We’ve tried to incorporate three hymns appropriate for holidays within each year’s selections: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Resurrection Day. Use the Modules in any order. Select one Module of hymns below and assign it to the family.

How to Teach

Select one hymn to sing together until all have learned every stanza. If possible, sometime during the learning of the hymn, read together its history. Children may also use the lyrics of the hymn for copywork, dictation, or recitation. The Center for Church Music Songs and Hymns has some great information to help you do Hymn Study.
