I found a book of Character Counts songs a while ago, and once the guidance counselor found out we thought it would be neat to have them sing at the spring Character Counts Assembly. I didn't want to teach them two separate performances, so we used the Character Counts theme for our spring concert as well!
The neatest moment was when they performed "Hazrat Bibi Mariam", a song in Arabic about peace. We came up with some really great choreography and it turned out to be extremely powerful and moving. I love love LOVE when things become both educational AND powerful.

It looks like so much fun! I wish you had been my music teacher!!!
Hello! You do not know me, but I came across your post in my search for Character Counts programs. I am a 4th grade teacher in Winfield, IL and we are looking to do a C.C. performance for our fourth graders. Would you mind sharing any names of resources you had for songs and such!? Thanks so much!

Hazrat Bibi Maryam is about Allah's choice for the mother of his son. Maryam is Mary. This is an Islamic religious song likened to Christian songs worshipping people of their faith.
Rachel,
Are these just pictures or is their video or sound also? I'm looking for a recording of "Hazrat Bibi Maryam" to put on my school's website to help my students practice at home.
