Dare to do Right

Doing what is right can sometimes be hard for all of us. "Dare to do Right," p.158, is the perfect song to help us all find the courage to do what is right.

This song can be taught  by singing one phrase and having the children repeat it 3 times.  Then sing the next phrase and do the same thing.  Put both phrases together.

• Start by singing the whole song.
• Tell them that we sing "dare" several times.  Ask them to count how many times it is sung as you sing the song once more. (20 times, counting the chorus twice)
• "Dare to be right" is always first.
• "dare to be true" is second.
• Ask them to listen for the rhyming words.
• true and do
• well and tell
• true and your
• faith and death (not the best rhyme though)
• You can have the children stand when they sing "right" and sit when they sing "true."

*Always try to teach all the verses.  All verses were written for a purpose.
