Sing-Along with Picture Cards

I have also done this with Irish Songs, colours, flowers, war songs, seniors songs, love, Scottish songs, Australiana, summer/ocean, places we travel to, Disney classics, Movie musical classics, weather, novelty songs, dancing songs, T.V themes, clothes, celebrations eg Easter, animals and birds, girls names, boys names, English songs, nursery rhymes, numbers, drinking songs and advertising jingles (which was a huge list). Hope this helps give people more ideas. More or less giving hints too rather than pictures.

Cheers Jo
