Topic: For the Kids

Somehow or another it leaked out at work that I play guitar (i work at a daycare), and my director's asked me to come in some time and play for the kids. I was wondering if there were any simple acoustic 'kid-friendly' songs that might be fun to learn with my kiddos (ages 4-10).
I hate to actually do "kid" songs, since I'd rather expand their minds and musical repetoire a little. I was thinking some CCR maybe, perhaps some Beatles. Maybe somebody has kids of their owns who have favorites??
Thanks!

Bob Marley's Three Litte Birds is a hit with my kids. I'll think of more later.

check out dan zanes. he used to be with del fuegos, but now does music for children. He has the exact same sentiment about playing kids songs. Smile smile smile is one that our family really likes.

Hi lilwing,
This song, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas"
http://www.links2love.com/christmas-son … otamus.htm
was a big hit last year when I sang it for the kids at the elementary school and a hospital.
Chords are regular in the key of "G".

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?
