Summer is just around the corner and many churches are planning for Vacation Bible School. VBS is an incredible time for kids with all the different activities, games, lessons, and fun times with their friends. And music is always a special part of VBS too. With that in mind, we've assembled an amazing list of kids songs for Summer and beyond!
Kids are a super important part of our churches, and it's such an awesome thing to see them lift their hearts to the Lord in worship. Each of the songs below are easy to learn and fun to sing––and they're all perfect for kids of any age! With fun and singable arrangements by Kyle Hill, Kris Crunk, Randy Cox, Dennis Allen, Bradley Knight, and more, we've got a super collection of songs that your kids will love, and your congregation will too!
These songs range from easy to medium difficulty, and as always, there are accompaniment tracks included with each song! Perfect for VBS, Sunday school, or Sunday morning worship, these songs are loaded with scripture and pack a powerful punch, so jump right in and lead those kiddos in worship!
