Fun Sing-Along helps students learn the preamble of The Declaration of Independence!
“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth … We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, With certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” – Excerpts from The Declaration of Independence, 1776

About Us
When our 4th grade daughter, Steffy, brought home a homework assignment to memorize the first 250 words of the Declaration of Independence, she tried the usual ‘memory’ techniques without success. Our family decided that there had to be a better way. I learned the preamble to the Constitution years ago with School House Rock but couldn’t find anything for The Declaration of Independence.
Our family wrote a ‘sing-along’ that helped Steffy learn faster and have time to learn what the words really mean! Steffy and I recorded the ‘Declaration of Independence Song’ when Steffy was 11 years old.
Since then, over 50,000 students all across America have sung The Declaration of Independence Song to learn the opening words of the Declaration of Independence. Please share our song with your students. We want to help America learn that America’s founding freedoms are based on natural laws from our Creator and not our government.
Today, Steffy is 24 years old and a 3rd year graduate student at Medical College of Georgia studying for her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. I’m a Business Development Executive with IBM and live in Milton, Georgia with my wife Monica.
Sincerely,
Jack Boyd
