Long story short I'm studying to become a music teacher/teacher in extended education. Basically, here in Sweden that means focusing on ages 6-10. The past two and upcoming three weeks I'm doing workplace training. Had my first "proper" lesson with a bunch of 8yr olds last week and loved it. It went super well. My teacher from Uni was there to observe and gave me a lot of praise, my tutor at the school I'm doing my training (who is insanely good btw!) was very happy with my "performance" too.
Anyways, currently I'm trying to compile a list of good/cool/fun songs for kids. Simple hello- and/or greeting-songs as well as goodbye-songs are invaluable, and you can never know too many I guess. For my next lesson I want to mix english in with the music. I've been looking around the web for good songs, but they are either horrible or way too simple/uninspiring for the kids I work with. So basically, I thought I'd ask around:
What is/was you favourite songs for/as a kid(s)? Preferably in English but I like bringing in songs in all kinds of languages when I teach, so anything goes, as long as it's fairly simple. Any tips and/or ideas? Cool melodies, tongue twisters, funny lyrics, smart/important lyrics? Fire away!
