My little one loves music, but I find that whenever he wants to sing a song, the same three or so come to my mind. To broaden our singing horizons, I made a jar with little slips of paper inside, each with the title of a children's song. When we have "music time" we take turns pulling out a little paper and singing the song listed. This has been great fun!
Here is a list of common children's songs, and although I know there are many more, this was a good place to start for us. If you're interested you can copy and paste the titles, print them off and cut them out for your own "Music Time Song Jar."
PS: I'd love to hear of a favorite song you and your munchkins enjoy singing!
(If you are not familiar with a song, skip it, google it, or look on the free music web site for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, where several of the songs come from.) Happy Singing!
