Definately, think back to when you were a child, what did your parents provide you to help you learn to talk & understand? YEP the all mighty nursery rhymes.Nursery rhymes, lullabies & music have been passed on from generation to generation because they have elements that are attractive to children who are in the process of learning language. These are valuable teaching tools & all children learn these traits from an early age throuout their lifetime. Music is used as a vehicle to illustrate language development to foster children's language acquisition.

Try out huge classics such as the Grimm brother's fairy tales or CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. The major themes in childhood literature are such as: relationships (how to build proper ones/get away from bad ones), family and relatives (see how many fairy tales with the bad stepmom), irrational fears (how you deal with them) and magic (with children's eyes many things are "magical"), growing up etc. Mostly those stories were written in order to help out children with their major issues.

Favorites in my classroom have Bugs, Transportation, animals-Jungle and Zoo. Families, Friends, circus, Themes on story books work well for 2 weeks- Literary themes. Dinosaurs are real big. Fairy tales are ok, the kids liked some of the old folk tales.

Go to limewire and see if you get anything by Crí-crí. I have a cd by him and I love it. When i babysit my cousins babies I put that cd on and they love it. They know most of the songs now. I like to listen to it too.

I learned them through theme - and the fact that they relate to periods in the life of Christ. \n\nJOYFUL - deals with time around the Birth of Christ\n1) Annunciation to Mary by Angel Gabriel\n2) Visitation of Mary to relative Elizabeth, pregnant with John the Baptist\n3) Nativity - birth of Jesus in Bethlehem\n4) Presentation in the temple - a Jewish ritual done after the Jewish ritual time of purification for women in childbirth had passed - a short trip up to Jerusalem from Bethlehem with Jesus the baby\n5) Finding in the temple - when Jesus was a young teenager. \n\nAfter this, the LUMINOUS mysteries tell of the active life - then the SORROWFUL tell of the Passion and Death, and the GLORIOUS tell about the Ressurection. \n\nAlso there is a Catholic artist, Danielle Rose, who sells an amazing double-CD set called 'Mysteries' where she has done a song for each mystery. I remember these songs as I say the rosary.  The music is achingly beautiful, I think her website is\n\nwww. daniellerose.com\n\nPeace of Christ!

I get my students to write songs.  History songs - not entertaining, but putting some of the stuff to music helps them remember.\n\nI used to use index cards - write a topic on each one and three essential points about each.
