songs for a school trip
 
Dear collegues,
I have a question. My 6th graders (pre-intermedeate level) are going on a two night schooltrip. Transportation is by bus. Usually kids sing (loudly) during the bus drive (over two hours). There are all kinds of songs in Hebrew, most of them the call and response kind. I am looking for a catchy (easy) song in English. The only one I came across is this one:
 
There must be more of this kind of song out there, can anyone help me?
(from scouting, summer camp, youth movement, field trips etc?)
Does anyone know a song like this? I really want to teach them one to add to their repertoire before they leave.

Well, believe it or not but when I was younger, we sang everything from "The wheels on the bus", "99 Bottles of Beer" to

"Drunken Sailor Song" (there might have been a milder version, I can �t remember... but it was definitely fun to sing. LOL)

Just before summer holidays we sang We �re all going on a holiday by Cliff Richards (but it could be out of context for you bc it �s about a summer holiday). In the summer camp this summer kids sang Bazooka bubble gum:)
Just remembered one more which was a hit with our teens in the camp I said a boom...

To see what he could see see see.
But all that he could see see see
