Hello all colleagues I have been looking for some beautiful and active songs (pop songs).My students will sing them at the end of the year at an English Festival.I f you know some nice songs but not slow songs ,because they bother the parants and thge audience ,please inform me.Only names of the songs and the singers are sufficient for me.

I don �t know how old they are, or I could suggest more... Summer nights from Grease is great, but depends on their knowledge level and age... Stand by Me or Lean on Me, always...

Yep, as Anita said, you should have been more specific as to the age and level of your ss.
Here are some suggestions. I �m a fan of a lively beat, especially the one you can dance to.
Here �s something i did in one of my plays with the kids, you may adapt it (ahhhh, if you had been more specific Wink)

Then, this one is of very poor quality, but will do (just to see the choreography). Plz, don�t mind the children�s lack of musical talent Wink they wanted to sing and i gave them a chance.

and the song can be found here:

or the music sheet and MP3 version (it�s possible to download it) here:

i have made a karaoke version (as in the vid of my ss), but i also have a great cover that i downloaded from the net. it �s a great song, with a lot of miming. again, all thanks to my lovely dear friend, Denis O �Leary from Ireland, who told me about it.

Also, "When the saints go marchin� in" is a great lively song, where two groups can �converse� while singing (like they do it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuO5wzIiIdw&feature=PlayList&p=59F96E8AD91F8D49&index=0) I also made a karaoke version and can give it to you.
EDIT: "Wonderful world" by Sam Cooke can also do wonders. You can see how my ss sang it along with me here:
