Hi everyone,

I sometimes play guitar in the classroom and was wondering if anyone knew of any good songs to play that the kids can sing along to..... Or even better some sheet music to go with....

Cheers

Hi Mr. Tickle,
Another great song that children love is "There Was an Old Lady" or "I know an Old Lady". In the following link you will find the guitar accompaniment (just three chords): http://kristinhall.org/songbook/OnAndOn/IKnowAnOldLady.html
I hope it is useful!!

Have you heard of "Johnny works with one hammer"?
Johnny works with one hammer, one hammer, one hammer (one hand making the movement of hammering),
Johnny works with one hammer, and now he works with two. (both hands)

Johnny works with two hammers, two hammers, two hammers,
Johnny works with two hammers, and now he works with three. (2 hands + one leg) *the children are seated

etc .... five hammers (2 hands, 2 legs and the head!)
and now he goes to sleeeeeeep .... sh sh sh ...

When i get home, i �ll ask hubby to give me the chords, or i can record him playing it on the guitar and email you the song. It �s a fab action song for the youngsters!
