Worms, the eaten ones. Yeuch! Kids love it.

Almost any clean accumulative song. Old Macdonald's Farm has lots of variations to different tunes. When I sing the Barley Mow to kids they love it and want to learn it.

'Coming round the mountain' is very popular. What shall we do with a drunken sailor, with made up verses added.

'The Keeper' is very bawdy but kids don't know that and it has a hell of a good chorus. We all learnt it in primary school thanks to Cecil Sharp!
