If possible, may I ask suggestions of a few Broadway tunes that would be easy to teach to kids ranging in age from 6 - 8 years of age? I know stuff from Annie would be fun for them but, what other songs with minor choreography would work?

Many thanks,
A

How about "I Won't Grow Up" from Peter Pan?

Music from Bye Bye Birdie and Once on This Island spring to mind.

My 5 yr old granddaugher knows the entire score to HELLO DOLLY! and is particularly fond of "Dancing". I'm going to introduce her to MAME this week.

Whatever you do, just make sure you don't teach them anything from the Addams Family. No child deserves that.

When I was younger, we sang "Kids" from Bye Bye Birdie. It was pretty cute. Or "Happiness" from YAGMCB.

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

Check out all the Broadway Kids' CDs. I don't really like kids, but I like these recordings. :)

Steer the kids away from THE ADDMAS FAMILY. It's pure stink-o.

My favorite Broadway song to teach little guys is "Tender Shepherd" from Peter Pan. That way, you can teach kids how to sing a round which is an easy introduction to harmony singing without doing too much work. "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning" from Oklahoma is also a good choice because most kids already know it. The kids that I have taught usually like songs that they already know- mostly from movies, like "Mamma Mia" or "Grease". I hope that helps!

I am with Diva. I think "Any Dream Will Do" was the first Broadway song I learned along with the rest of the "...Dreamcoat" score.
