Deep Down Detectives presents the 16 Praise Factory Big Questions as 16 units, with 2-8 Bible Truths included in each unit. There are 69 Bible Truths taught in the whole curriculum. Created for use with the next step up of learners (ages 3-7), this is the same truths learned in Hide ‘n’ Seek Kids at a deeper level.

Songs in Deep Down Detectives are used:

• To introduce concepts during the lesson
• To play in the background or to sing during Opening Activity Time and during Play Time
• To play as the music during the “Music, Movement and Memory Activity” suggested for each lesson

So you or your kids don’t even have to sing them, for them to be useful in helping the kids learn and remember the truths you are teaching them.

There are five basic types of songs included in the Deep Down Detectives music (in addition to the classroom songs, mentioned in the classroom management songs section).In addition to the same four types of songs used in Hide ‘n’ Seek Kids, the Deep Down Detectives curriculum adds a song (and sometimes extra songs, too) for each of the 69 Bible Truths.

Here are descriptions and examples of each from Unit 3: The Good News of God, the Gospel. Note how it uses the same songs as in Hide ‘n’ Seek Kids, then adds in songs for the four Bible Truths the children will learn within this unit.

There are TWO songs that can be used to introduce each Big Question (and Answer):

SONG 1: The Big Q & A Song: the Big Question and Answer sung to a familiar nursery rhyme song.

SONG 2: The Big Question Song: Includes the Big Question, Answer and concept in song (not nursery rhyme)

This is the Bible Verse for the Big Question unit set to music

Extra Songs: Sometimes the Bible Verse music includes extra songs–either different versions of the same verse or other verses related to the Big Question. We include these because the curriculum is used by a wide age range of children and one might be better suited for your particular group of children than another. Use as many or as few as you want.

Here are two examples of Extra Bible Verse songs included in the Unit 3 music:

This is a portion of a hymn related to the Big Question concept.

This is a simple praise song related to the Big Question concept.

Additional to these resources also found in Hide ‘n’ Seek Kids, Deep Down Detectives adds a new resource:

There is at least one Bible verse song for each of the 69 Bible Truth concepts in Deep Down Detectives.

Here are examples from Unit 3: The Gospel, the Good News of God.
