A friend of mine helps out at her local Girl Guide group and group singing can be part of some of their events. I played her a couple of tunes on my Uke and sang along to them. I’m not much of a player and my singing is poor but the joy of ‘Uke’ seemed to mask all that and soon we were opening up an alternative way of making music. Her plan is that whilst learning (the Uke) she would play for pleasure and then, once she’s mastered the basics, also offer to play to the girls/young ladies at Guides - the plan will probably take a couple of years to work through but that’s fine.
Girl Guides are at that in between age (ten to thirteen inclusive) when they stop being ‘children’ and become ‘adolescents’, some act much older than their age. I think that Girl Guides are called Girl Scouts in some other countries. The singing wouldn’t typically be around ‘camp fires’ but rather during a weekly evening meeting or at a whole day (indoor) event.
Please would someone suggest some suitable songs, complete with Uke Chords, for English Girl Guides.
Edit. I specified ‘English’ because not everything from other countries translates well to what happens here in the U.K., and yes I should have said British rather than English.
