K-2 Hymns on Your Devices

Musical-Notation-Old-Book-640x316

We do our hymns during circle time, just after read-aloud, while I’m sitting on the couch.  That means I’m not close to the desktop or any CD player, so the most convenient thing for me is to play them on the chromebook or other device.  The first place to go for the hymns is Catholic Chant.  He has them laid out by school year, especially tailored to our needs.  However, not every hymn has a sound file.  For that, I’ve created a youtube playlist that you are welcome to use.  Whenever you find a hole on that site, head to my list and find the missing version.  Hope that helps!

Below is the list of hymns not found on the Catholic Chants site.  The italicized two, I couldn’t find on youtube with the right tune.
