Kids' Praise
Located in 2 routes
Kids' Praise is upbeat worship music made for children to sing with full-body participation: hand motions, bright pop-rock arrangements, simple theology, repeated choruses and lyrics aimed at gratitude, trust and joy. It is more contemporary than old Sunday-school repertoire and more worship-service oriented than novelty Christian kids music. The goal is to let children experience praise as something active, loud and communal.
History
As contemporary Christian worship moved from hymnals into bands and projection screens, children's ministries created age-appropriate versions with motions and simpler keys. Hillsong Kids, Yancy, Go Fish, Bethel Music Kids, Planetshakers Kids, Lifetree/GroupMusic, Rend Co. Kids and many local church resources shaped the modern sound. Videos became essential because leaders need children to learn songs quickly before services, camps or events.
