I want to teach some young people some camp songs?

Question

I teach English to students of high school level in China. They like to learn songs. I remember several from my earlier days, but I'd like a wider selection that will help jog my memories.

Answer 1

Head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes)
Do Your Ears Hang Low?
I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee
The Ants Go Marching
I've Got a Little Old Pile of Tin
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little Rabbit Foo-Foo
There Were 10 in the Bed
B-I-N-G-O
Gray Squirrel, Gray Squirrel
Boom-Boom Aint it Great to Be Crazy
Today (while the blossoms still cling to the vine)
They Call the Wind Mariah
She's a Grand Old Flag
Peace I Ask of Thee Oh River
Let There Be Peace on Earth
I'm Proud to Be Me
Kookaburra
Kum-ba-ya
Shake Those Sillies Out
One Tin Soldier
Blowin' in the Wind
Rise and Shine
Bear Hunt
Found a Peanut
99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall
Michael Row Your Boat Ashore
This Little Light of Mine
If I had a Hammer
Barges
Ragtime Cowboy Joe
If You're Happy and You Know It
(so many songs, so many more only partly remembered, so not listed!)

Answer 2

Ok off the top of my head;

1: Kum-bah-ya (snore)
2: Down in the Valley
3: Buffalo Gals
4: Home on the Range
5: Happy Trails
6: Streets of Laredo
7: Show me the way to go home
8: B-I-N-G-O
9: The Itsy-Bitsy Spider
10: On top of Spaghetti
11: Blowin' in the Wind
12: Smoke on the Water (ok, well maybe not..)

These might be fun for a campfire sing along. At any rate, they'll be easy for you to play and that'll make YOU look good!
Hope it helps

Answer 4

There is a hole, the biggest hole, something something... in the forest

I don't quite rember, but I learned it in camp.

I think Boy Scout of America website has some camp songs lyrics and melodies.

Answer 5

One of my favorites is Cold Spaghetti. Do you know it?

Cold spaghetti, lots of cold spaghetti
Cold spaghetti is what we like to eat!
Can you find it in her hat?
Yes we find it in her hat.
In her hat? In her hat!
Oooooohhhhh....
Repeat with adding other thing like
In his shoes, In her purse, etc.

Others I can think of include
Baby bumbleebee (Oh I'm picking up a baby bumblebee, won't my mommy be so proud of me...)
On top of Ole Smokey, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball when someboy sneezed
Do you ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro

Good Luck!
