Thread Name: Folk Songs to enthral youngsters?
Subject: RE: Folk Songs to enthral youngsters?
Lately I have been playing music at a Headstart school here in Eugene, Oregon. These are kids 3 to 5 years old. So I don't know if this applies. Kids that age seem to really like repetition. And anything that involves physical movement. I played them THE BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately the supervisor later informed me that any mention of cigarets, whiskey, and jail was not acceptable, So I haven't sung the song since. Of course there is one kid who asks for it every time.
