My guess is that most of you started singing the alphabet song in your head as you read the letters above. Why is that? Because the power of melody helped you memorize the alphabet as a child, and it stuck.
That power is why we use songs in Starting Blocks to help preschoolers learn our 12 Scripture memory verses throughout the year. This year we are excited to introduce the kids to a new set of original Scripture memory songs. These new songs were written and recorded by members of our own Watermark worship arts team – Jon Abel, Jarrod Rudesill, Dinah Wright, and Hayden Browning. Because these are all original works, we are able to make the recordings available to you! Click on the links below to download the songs so your whole family can learn these verses together.

We also teach the kids a worship song with each unit. Often parents are interested in accessing these songs so they can listen to them at home as well.We do not own the copyright to these songs but their links on Itunes and Spotify are listed below. On Spotify you can also search for the playlist titled, “Starting Blocks WeeJoice Songs”.
Enjoy these songs in the car and at home with your kids. Have your kids teach you the motions to the songs so you can worship together! The more often your child hears these songs the more they will know them and the truths they teach. Take advantage of the power of music to set truth in the hearts of your kids (and yourself).
