Children's program: tunes?

Post by Drew Howard »

Hi,

I will be playing for my niece's class of second-graders, and I will demonstrate a few instruments including the fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and guitar. I'd like to have some sing-a-longs. What tunes would be appropriate? I'm thinking Buffalo Girls but beyond that I'm drawing a blank. Any tune suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

thanks,

Drew Howard

Ahem... um, Drew? Haven't you forgotten a little something from your list of instruments? Or perhaps you meant to post this in the freaking MANDOLIN FORUM, instead of the <font size=6>STEEL GUITAR FORUM!!!</font>

A lot of the children in my grandsonsons 2nd grade class like songs such as:

He's Got The Whole World In His Hands
Jesus Loves Me
Deep and Wide
Swing Low Sweet Chariot
This Little Light of Mine

There are many good songs such as these.
