When you say 'elementary school audience,' are you referring to your
jewish school, or public school?  If it's within a Judaic setting, what
about the song for havdallah, "Laner v'liv'samim?"   It's got a
beautiful melody.  You could model a syncopated but easy percussion
accompaniment and have some of the kids accompany you for the chorus.

I've been asked to make a 20 min. presentation of Sephardic music to an
elementary school audience. 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.
