[HANASHIR:10709] Re: Tree song successes and a Purim song request

[Barton1320 <Barton1320...>]

At the risk of being redundant, I want to thank Josh also.  Not only for a 
great song for all of our Sunday School classes to sing, but a great way to 
lose weight.  After becoming a tree numerous times for each of our 5 classes, 
I felt as if I had completed an aerobic workout.  We had fun!!!

Now a request, I have been charged with teaching our students 2 new Purim 
songs next week.  I have about 15 minutes with each class and our directress 
would like the students to know the songs well enough to sing them during the 
Purim parade at the end of classes.  Most of the children fall within the 
kindergarten to 2nd grade ages, with a few more in 3rd and 4th grade.  Also 
as a novice, I'm still learning a variety of songs for each holiday.  

So my request is two-fold.  Can you recommend very simple Purim songs 
(preferable using simple major and minor chords.  Still trying to get that Bm 
chord down.).  Paradies of well known songs would be the best so the kids 
might at least know the tune.  Secondly, I had a student request for a song 
about Hamen's hat, something like "Hamen has a three-sided hat.", and 
something about leaving off a word each time the verse was sung.  It came 
from my third grade class, so I imagine they learned it in second grade.  Any 
help would be appreciated.  We have, however, already learned Karen Daniel's 
"Stomp, Stomp, Stomp" and the kids love it.  Great opportunity to get the 
shaker eggs, etc. out and make some real noise.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
