Neesy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 So far on my list of "THESE REALLY WORK" are: 100 Sheep - Skip Counting songs. Our oldest 3 STILL remember the words to those songs! LOL Hide 'Em in Your Heart (scripture songs) Go to the Ant (Judy Rogers- scripture songs) The continent song (This old man...knick knack paddy whack song...N.Armerica, S. America, Europe, Asia, Africa..Australia, and Antaaaarctiica...now I know my continents!) :hurray: Days of the week song (to the tune of "Found a Peanut"... There are 7 days, there are 7 days, there are 7 days in the week...Sunday, Monday, etc...) Months of the year song The Vowels song Anyway, you get the idea! I also have the "Schoolhouse Rock" cd's....remember those as a kid, any of you?? "Conjunction Junction What's Your Function"..... ring any bells? lol Getting ready to pull our "Grammar Songs" out, too! LOVE that one! I'm just curious as to what ELSE is out there that we might be missing! :bigear: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 We love Seeds Family Worship CDs here. I'm interested to hear responses...we don't use much music for memory work. (We just listen to Seeds in the car and such.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodlebug Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 My son is the same way! We do Seeds and a lot of the other resources you mentioned! I made up songs for him to recall our address and our phone numbers that he still utilizes at 8-1/2. ;) Classical Conversations uses a lot of music for their memory work. History, timeline, math, and a great deal of latin are all song based -- so even if you don't do the program, you could purchase the CD/mp3. I have a paid subscription to their file sharing site and look for users who post musical version of science, grammar, geography, etc. It makes for great listening material in the car, and DS has learned a lot that way.

Neesy Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Oh MY!! "I LOVE the hive! THANK YOU so much! :grouphug: I had to start a word document to write them all down! Haven't heard of most of them! Oh, and Raining Pineapples.... I cannot believe this! I TOTALLY forgot....I have ALL of the Lyrical Sciences packed away in a box "to sell". :blush: Our oldest three kiddos just never got around to using them.... didn't really "need" them. THANKS for jogging my memory on that one! I have Geography Songs, too...from way back when (it's a CASSETTE!), but those songs never seemed to "stick". We probably just didn't listen to them enough and I know we didn't use the workbook. Will definitely try that one with ds. Anyway.... thanks for taking time to post. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have the Beethoven cassette when our oldest two were in elementary (12 YEARS ago)! Yes...it was really GOOD! I'll have to see if our interlibrary loan has them on file.

4KookieKids Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Bumping this to see if anyone else has anything to add? I'd really love to add a bunch of memory work songs to our car trips, because right now we're almost exclusively doing audiobooks. I'm particularly looking for things elementary age and younger.
