A CHILDREN'S SONGBOOK COMPANION
A Children’s Songbook Companion is a complete singing time resource that is NOW available exclusively on Camille’s Primary Ideas! Sister Pat Graham reached out informing me that A Children’s Songbook Companion will no longer be published. But she wants its content to still be accessible.
I was delighted {and flattered} when she asked if Camille’s Primary Ideas would host and share its content here! With Sister Graham’s permission, A Children’s Songbook Companion can be downloaded. And the best part is it’s completely FREE!
If you know me, you know how much I love this resource! When I create singing time lesson plans, this is a go-to resource. It sparks ideas or I intersperse the material into something.
If you are unfamiliar with this resource, A Children’s Songbook Companion contains a singing time lesson for EVERY single primary song in the Children’s Songbook published in 1987! The entire book went through church correlation even though it was never published by the church.
When A Children’s Songbook Companion was ready to be published, the church changed its policy and would no longer publish church material that could not be easily translated and used worldwide.
So instead, the compilers of the book, including Pat Graham, published it themselves. Sister Graham has written her permission to share this book with Camille’s Primary Ideas HERE. In addition she’s added a back story of how each book was written.

Sing Out! features children’s songs with actions, visual aids, and many performance notes to give you ideas and themes for programs.
The songs and aids were created to give you confidence in teaching, and to provide positive experiences for children.
