The tulips have begun blooming in my garden. It will officially be spring in a few days. Time for brushing off the spring songs for use in my older adult groups. Here’s my sing-along starter list:

• When It’s Springtime in the Rockies
• April Showers
• Here Comes the Sun
• Tip Toe Through the Tulips
• When You Wore a Tulip and I Wore a Big Red Rose
• Blue Skies
• Singin’ in the Rain
• Let’s All Sing Like the Birdies Sing
• Garden Song

Here’s a list of songs that work best for “Name that Tune”, movement activities or drumming:

• April in Paris
• I’ll be with you in Apple Blossom Time
• I’ll Remember April
• It Might As Well Be Spring
• Spring Fever (Elvis Presley)
