							| I need your ideas 
 |  
							| The end of the school year is nearby and my 10 years old students � are going to sing a song in English. What kind of song do you advise me? I thought about Mama Mia it �s lovely and they love it. Do you have any other suggestions? I appreciate your help. Have a nice day, evening or night. Hugs from Portugal.

							| Well, I think Mamma Mia is an adult love song - not a child �s song. There are many wonderful songs for children why not find a good song
 with a lyric that fits 10 year olds.

							| Perhaps Mama Mia would be too difficult for 10 yrs old children. Try with something easier and connected to summer and holidays
  
 Perhaps you can find something here:

							| Hi Morganalin! I teach 7th and 8th grades. They are really crazy about Mama Mia.  Although it �s not a very easy song it depends on the students you have. At least it �s joyful and the refrain is easy to catch.    Have a good night! |  2 Jun 2009

							| 10-year-olds need ACTION !!!Hokey Cokey  is a HIT ! If you didn �t do it already ...  The Wheels .. If You �re Happy ...  But whatever you choose, make sure you have ACTION !!! Trust me on this one. I may be a brat and all, but i �m also an expert when it comes to children performing.

							| I totally agree with Ivona. I �m going to teach me primary students the Hokey Cokey for the final school party,cause they already know the gestures and the lyrics in portuguese and I must say they adore the song. Have you seen Panda Channel lately? Just check the videoclip and you will know what I �m talking about.       I hope this helps. Hugs.   |  3 Jun 2009

							| Hi Morganalin! At an Open Class my students sang Build me up, by The Foundations.
 Check the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXJL5B3Lb3s
 Although it �s not a song for children it �s super cute and, since most parents know it, they get the goose bumps from listening to their kids singing it... Plus, kids had so much fun learning it!
 Here �s the activity to work with it:

 Hope you like it!
