Character Training Through Song – Happy Kids Songs (A Review)

Character training – a word for most of our homeschools. One that we are always looking to improve, right? So when given the opportunity to review Happy Kids Songs I was excited to give them a try.

For our review, we were provided with the Happy Kids Songs Friends & Sharing (vol.1), Happiness & Attitude (vol.5), and Manners & Character (vol.6) as well as the Happy Kids Songs Workbook: Hands-On Activities to Build Character, Social & Emotional Skills.

Happy Kids Songs is a set of songs geared toward children ages, 4-8, though older and younger will enjoy it. The songs center around character traits or behavior. There are 8 albums available, each with a free pdf download of the lyrics available with purchase.

Additionally, the Happy Kids Songs Workbook: Hands-On Activities to Build Character, Social & Emotional Skills is an excellent resource to go along with the songs. The workbook has coloring pages, puzzles, and other activities for various ages. My son isn’t much of a coloring fan, but he did enjoy some of the activities to go along with the songs. It was nice to have something to do along with the songs while listening to them; however, we used them primarily in the car. We like to listen to songs on our drives.

Both my kids enjoyed the songs. Most were very catchy tunes and the kids caught onto them pretty quick. Though I was happy that we received the workbook that has the lyrics printed. It was nice to have the lyrics to sing along with the songs in the beginning.

The song titles included songs like Sailing on the Seven C’s, The Golden Rule, and Shake It Out and Dance, to name a few. These were some of my kids favorites. My 4 year old enjoyed the songs and even my 9 year old found them fun. We had a good time discussing the meaning of the songs and listening to them again to see what else we learn from the song.

You can check out the Happy Kids Songs website and listen to samples from the songs as well as see and hear videos from the various albums.

You can purchase the Happy Kids Songs Workbook for $12.56 and a Happy Kids Songs digital download of 5 songs for $4.95 (you can also purchase individual songs for 99 cents a piece).
