The goal of this website is to
help Baha'i Children's Class teachers by providing ideas, activities, and resources to accompany the Ruhi Book 3 lessons.
I will be providing ideas that I have used, but would be excited to hear from all of you. For example:
- What resources have you come across?
- What has worked well for you?
- Or what have you learned the hard way? =)
I am a Baha'i Children's Class teacher as well as a school teacher by profession. If you are a school teacher as well or are a parent that is home-schooling your children, check out my other website called "Get to the Resource" at

I look forward to hearing from all of you and I wish you much joy and success in all your teaching endeavors.

Book 3 Grade 1 Quotation Songs for Children - Download Free MP3s
Each Lesson in Ruhi Book 3 has a short memorization passage. I have created a song for each quotation that can be downloaded for free at www.LosNiceGuys.com (click on Ruhi Book 3 Songs). You can burn the songs to a CD to use in your classes. All the quotations in the soon-to-be published, updated, Ruhi Book 3 Teaching Children's Classes Grade 1 as well as the quotations in the original, orange book have been included (29 in all). I'm starting to add Spanish versions of the songs, too (4 so far)
The songs make learning the quotations easy and fun. They include activities for the children to do while singing and are easy melodies with a range of one octave, or less (A to A).
Here are two testimonials from beta users -
"Dear Larry. Thank you for making such a good album, I did not know about this site until about 4 months ago when I wanted to start a new children class, so I went searching for new materials and what I was mostly looking for was the quotations put to music and here I found it, and ever since I have been trying to share it with all my friends through facebook. My children class student is a six year old and she has almost learnt every one of the quotations by heart, they are so easy to learn and fun for children, every time I play one of the songs, she gets up and dances and makes actions along with the quotation, and this itself makes the class so interesting for her and more exciting for her to attend every week. Thank you once again." Anisa Kasiri
"Dear Larry, Your songs are wonderful and add so much to children's classes. Having the verses set to melodies is very helpful for memorizing for everyone, however, the children especially respond to music. The melodies are sweet; easy to learn and to sing. Truly "a ladder whereby souls may ascend." Thank you so much for all of your time and efforts to do this!' Cathy Plasencia
