Nusery Ryhmes or Kid's Songs

Sign in to disble this ad
This is more guitar related than bass, although I can work bass into it. But here it goes. I have a second interview for a job as a youth care worker coming up next week. This home is sadly for abused children. I'd be working with children from the age of 3-12 or so.

What I'd really like to do to set my self apart in this second interview is take in a friend's accoustic guitar in with a repitoire of easy to listen to nusery ryhmes and children's songs and play for the children to see their reaction. I'm certain it will go over well with the kids as they've probably never seen someone play music infront of them before.

*Just a note I've cleared it with the woman doing the interview and she loved the idea before it's mentioned that I might be overstepping bounds.*

I'd like to keep the songs on the non denomination side of things, just to cover my arse with PC type stuff if I do get the job. Although I'm sure songs like Micheal row the boat ashore, are a fairly safe bet.

The problem is I'm not familiar with songs of this nature at all. I've been googling it to death and coming up with stuff but as in my next interview is tuesday I figure a direct question in this situation might get me the best suggestionsm, or at the very least more suggestions. I'm sure three or four simple songs like I have listed below would hit the younger ages up untill about 8 or so over. I'm not sure on what to do for the slightly older children.

So far I have.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Mary had a little lamb.
Micheal row the boat ashore.
