Need Some Ideas

[flafan]

Hi Everyone - Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I am making a video for my son's preschool class with photo's and music. Does anyone have any ideas for songs?

I need two, One for an upbeat fun part and one that's sweet and one that brings a tear or two to all the Mom's and Dad's. Thanks everyone.

Our teacher did this for our kids and she used a few of the songs that the kids would sing on a regular basis during class. It will be fun to look back on later down the road.. Good Luck

"It won't be Like This for Long" by Darius Ruckers (former Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer) would def. bring tears to the eyes...it does mine anyway. I'll keep thinking and let you know if I come up with anything else...oh, "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts is another good one!

My son's K teacher did "you are the sunshine of my life" and yes I teared up even though that was the happy go lucky one.

There are a lot of that site to choose from. They're 99 cents each to download. A lot of schools use these songs in their music classes.

"Let Them Be Little" by Lonestar. We are using this in our graduation program and just practicing the other day it brought tears to my eyes.

I used "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story, but a version with children singing. It worked well especially with group pictures.

Thought of another one-
Return Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins

Do they have any kind of music or singing class? If you could record them performing some of their favorites, those songs could be part of the soundtrack.

Butterfly Kisses

I like "You've Got a Friend in Me" and "Return to Pooh Corner".

Octopus' Garden (Beatles)

Here Comes the Sun (Beatles)

Teddy Bears' Picnic (Anne Murray)

agnes!

Well, this one will bring a lot more than a tear or two, but it works beautifully -- I Am Your Child by Barry Manilow. Google the lyrics -- maybe grab a tissue first.

Thanks Everyone,

I can not wait to start, I love My Wish by Rascal Flatts. So that is the lead and I think I'll use You got a friend in me.

I knew I could count on the Diser's. You guys are the best! Have a great day everyone.

That's what I was going to post. My sons teacher used that in a dvd-I was sobbing, lol!


I also love 'you're Gonna Miss This"

I taught Pre-K last year and we used "youre gonna miss this" and for the fun song--"together" from High school musical since the kids all loved that movie!
