if you have a y3-5 daughter …..

AIBU to play the main Star Wars theme, (and A Whole New World, and the Can Can.) to a bunch of Y3-5 girls? Would they know it? DH says they would't.

They would't recognise it = iabu
They would recognise it = ianbu

I have a four year old and they would only recognise a whole new world from those songs. Sorry I'm with your DH!

yes sorry, maybe the 5 year olds might know star wars? if they have older siblings? Mine defo wouldnt have known a whole new world or the can can. You want all the songs of Frozen, maybe Moana, and maybe Encanto now?

They may not recognise them but why does that matter? Play away!

Same as above with my 5yo

Y3-5 is age 7-10.

My dd wouldn't have known the can can but would know the other 2 songs

Sorry. Same as this comment.

DD is in Y2 and would recognise them. She walks around humming the Imperial March sometimes….

Stars Wars.. she never heard
Aladdin.. shes knows
Can Can... not sure

Try Fun Kids Radio if you want to build a play list

I have a year 3 DD (almost 8) and she wouldn't recognise it, but we're not Star Wars fans in this house.

I don’t think any of my children 5-12 would know any of those songs.

I work in preschool with 3+4 year olds and they wouldn't know them. Maybe 1 or 2 might recognise A whole new world.

Mine would have no clue

Thanks so far everyone.

Just to clarify, I'm talking about ages 7-10.

Any other suggestions of tunes they would like would be really helpful!

Sorry just spotted you said y3-5. My daughter is 5

For a disco or for a game where they have to recognise the song??
If the former then definitely play them. The can can is a great song and it takes about 10 seconds to get them all kicking their legs (we did this at Y3 disco). The conga was another good one - I'm sure some of our Y3s didn't know it, but they were soon dancing round the room in a long snake.

A whole new world and star wars 👍 no to can can

I will be playing brass instruments to them.

it depends what the purpose of the music is - is it for a music quiz, a disco, karaoke?

My 7 year old knows Star Wars and AWNW.

Other guys among her age group are the Ghostbusters theme, most Disney, greatest showman songs and Eurovision (the film).

Can you play the Harry Potter theme on brass?

Most disney stuff would be ok.

My DDs (4 & 7) know all 3 but that's because between myself and DH, we are massive Star Wars, Disney and 80s Ska Punk (Bad Manners) fans.

It’s not really age based. Some kids might be really into Star Wars, some not so much.

Is it a paid thing/trying to get them to sign up for lessons? If so maybe it would be possible to contact the parents and ask what shows/music they might be into?

It’s just totally dependent on the group!

I will be playing brass instruments to them.

Will they be just listening? Dancing? Answering questions? What's the purpose?

No way she's recognise them

Sadly, due to covid, they will only be able to listen this time. The School have asked me to do it, but if I get more pupils, then great, but I already have a load there !

Usually, - pre covid - I got all the kids buzzing, and let a few have a go if they wanted to.

Greatest Showman would be good. Thanks.
