Original Post
Decorating
- Banner - Prodigal Son -- a free PDF download.
Storytelling
- Story Cards - Prodigal Son (a sample is shown at right) -- a free PDF download.
Music
- The Prodigal Son CD-ROM, Sunday Software. Has a great song ("Native Son" by Lindsley) seen in a music video in the SON TV portion of the CD. This music video’s lyrics retell the story with a catchy tune. Lyrics and chords are found in the Teacher's Guide.
- The Donut Man - Song "We're Going Have A Party" upbeat to Mariachi music great for younger children. YouTube (here I could see teaching the kids the movements to the song as seen in the music video.) Donut Man - Song is found on his "Life Saver" CD and in the "Sing-A-Long Songbook 3".
