If you are looking for something to show your children about St. Patrick this year here are a couple of videos we showed the preschoolers today. The first one is super cute but may be hard for kids to understand b/c of the heavy accent. I love it b/c the story is being retold by a little girl from Dublin in the 1960's. I wish I had the transcripts of everything she's saying. Here is the back ground on it from YouTube:
"This series, including the original Oscar-nominated short, from Brown Bag Films is based upon the 1960s recordings of young children telling Bible stories in a classroom to their schoolteacher. When a film crew arrives at an inner city Dublin National School to record the children, the result is a warm, funny and spontaneous animated documentary, featuring young children telling the story of John the Baptist, The birth of Jesus, the Crucifixion, Saint Patrick and others...."
So funny! The child almost sounds Jamaican!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it precious?! I wish I could see the actual little girl!
DeleteThese are adorable!!! It's also pretty awesome that their public schools taught these things - and even practiced memorization of verses b/c several of the shorts include kiddos quoting actual verses. :)
ReplyDeleteI love little kids with accents. I think I'm gonna teach Rosie her verses with an accent ;)
