Welcome!

Here you will find reflections, songs, and other resources related to children singing and singing with children.

As literacy spread, the oral culture of adults fell by the wayside, but children’s lives have remained immersed in it. Before they can read, most children know several songs and nursery rhymes, and this orality shapes their worlds. This page is home to the songs children sing, and songs we might want to sing with them.

Check out the archives box on the right for related songs from the VFSS Archives.
