This is a good thread with summer vacation here.
HAVE FUN
To Find the Mudcat Collection - Go To Links - At the Top by the Mudcat Banner - select keyword KIDS - 300 plus - I like for 4 to 6 year olds:
A HUNTING WE WILL GO
AIN'T IT GREAT TO BE CRAZY
BINGO
DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW?
FROGGY WENT A COURTIN'
GOING TO THE ZOO - circle march with actions
I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT
JIM CRACK CORN
OATS, PEAS, BEANS AND BARLEY GROW
SWALLOWED A FLY
THE BEAR WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN
THE FARMER IN THE DELL
THE OLD SOW SONG
THIS OLD MAN
TIE ME KANGAROO DOWN
I beleive your music may be too advanced for five year olds - and unless they are "special" - the 9 and 10 year olds will be turned off.
Simple repeat chorus are good for participation

Another use for chants of this type is in the military version of Hank Snow's song, Movin' On, which first got adapted during the Korean war with various references to events of the day.
Verses like,
The old tom cat was feelin'mean When he caught his tail in a sewing machine.
He's movin's on
He'll soon be gone
