Johnny Cash's "Rock Island Line" wasn't as big a hit with the kids as I thought but the "Star Spangled Banner" was a big marching hit. Tik Tik Tak was so good to clap to that we did it for two weeks. They really enjoyed dancing to Great Big Boat by Taj Mahal.
Despertar by Aisha Duo quite a bit harder to get into for me too.

Week One
We started small with one Mom and two great kids joining us. Thank you Amber!
The kids loved running around the long table. The hobby horses were a big hit which we borrowed from the church's christmas pagent supplies. We had enough but I may need to come up with some more as we get more kids. Maybe I can make some? Our youngest participant at age 1 loved the music and was so cute dancing.
I sampled one to two minutes of the following songs for our program this week.
Opening Song which we sang along to:
You sing a Song and I'll sing a Song by Ella Jenkins
Main Songs:
Jambo Bwamba Kenya by Them Mushrooms
Mardi Gras Mambo by Putumayo artists
Nutcraker: Dance of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky To this one we danced like Ballerinas
Three Little Birds by Cedella Marley Booker (Bob Marley's Mom) I'm going to be playing this song by various artists over the weeks ahead.
Closing Song: We are the Dinosaurs by Laurie Berkner
If anyone is interested in these samples send me an email and I'll send them to you.
