I have had extensive experience performing for kids as well as adults, so have a sense of how to make my adult-oriented Sephardic (Ladino) repertoire work for younger people, however  I would love to have a few songs really geared to kids i.e. snappy and easy to understand.  Can anyone recommend Sephardic songs along the lines of Ochos Kandelikas, but not necessarily for a specific holiday?

Two traditional Sephardic tunes I have heard which are also snappy and easy to understand are the Sephardic versions of "Ain Kelokainu" and "Chad Gad Ya" (the latter of which has a different name, which I can't remember).

It's probably a safe bet that Flory Jagoda (composer of Ocho Kendelikas) has recorded them.
