URGENT!!! need easy songs to teach 6-13 yr olds!!

[ardenik]

hey everybody... im in charge of one of the activities at a music camp (which is taking place next week!! ) the activity is called "School of Rock" & its basically what the movie was about....

i get kids ranging from 6 to 13 years of age (separated in groups accordingly) & i gotta teach them how to play a song by the end of the week (for the concert on friday evening!!!) i only get 45 minutes per day monday to friday!!

so far i've got:

1- You Really Got Me
2- Twist & Shout
3- Wild Thing
4- some random Blues tune... (we'll worry about lyrics later!)


now bear in mind ppl, that ANY music knowledge whatsoever is NOT a prerequisite for this camp, so if anybody says Stairway to Heaven, they're getting a smack!!

i have a meeting with my superiors at 9:00pm tonight!! (6:00pm California time) & i have to show them all my stuff

"Kashmir"....

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

How about an Elvis song?

Don't all kids start off with Nirvana tunes?

beatles songs always work for me--
just search online-ull find alot-
oh or try some celine dio nor soemthing- frank sinatra is good- btu make sure you go thrugh the lyrics, cause kids will ask the darnest questions- they will nitpick and try to find out what eat little word means-- youre gonna get bombarded with questions- good luck and have fun
working wil litle kiddies is always fun if u know what to do.
