I have been put in charge of doing a 2 song slideshow at my daughter's kindergarten graduation and I need help. The school is a Christian school so it would be great if at least one song was a Christian song.
Thanks!
It Won't be Like this tor Long by Darius Rucker. They used it fir my daughter's pre-k graduation and we were all puddles on the floor!
How about "You and I Are Going to be Friends"? Originally by the White Stripes, this one is a cover by Jack Johnson?

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
A Mothers Prayer - Rachel Aldous
Great songs, but graduation????? Never have I heard of a Kindergarten graduation. Like all grades, end of year party and everyone goes home knowing they will go to the next grade. Do they do this for every grade. Very
Curious.
The songs:
"Fireflies" (awesome song, kids love it too and adults), here is the link for it:

2) Over The Rainbow by Hawaiian musician Israel Kamawiwo`ole (his is the most popular rendition of this song worldwide and has been on the soundtrack for many movies).
3) Songs by Jack Johnson, who is also from Hawaii and is an award winner for many songs, and he did the soundtrack for the "Curious George" movie.
Good Life (One Republic)
Little Wing (Sting)
Forest Gump Theme
You'll be in my Heart (Phil Collins)
You'll be Blessed (Elton John)
Little Miss Magic (Jimmy Buffet)- great for girls
Reflection (Mulan soundtrack) - great for girls
Here I Am (Bryan Adams - Spirit Soundtrack)
"Friends" by Michael W. Smith, "The Power of the Moment" by Chris Rice, "What If" by Jadon Lavik, "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle, "I Can Only Imagine" by Aaron Frith. If you have iTunes, you can listen to the top Contemporary Christian songs and see if any of them seem appropriate to you. KLTY 94.9 is the Contemporary Christian Radio Station locally. You can go to their website and check the top songs.
Greatest Love of All - Whitney Houston; any piano music by Jim Brickman.

This was the first song that came to mind. Love it!!
added: Google VBS songs for kids. My son came away with some awesome cd's from vacation bible school.
Tune in to 88.7 The Bridge (it's in DE but you can listen online). They play so many great, contemporary christian artists you are sure to find something you like.
My daughter (age 6) particularly likes Mandisa's music (specifically "Good Morning"). Toby Mac has a lot of great, up beat songs too (just can't think of the names of them at this moment). Brit Nicole, Mercy Me, Bldg 429, Casting Crowns, and Big Daddy Weave are others.
