Another popular and fun P&W song with hand motions is Big House.

Margaret

Newsboys - Big House Lyrics

I don't know where you lay your head,or where you call your home.
I don't know where you eat your meals,or where you talk on the phone.
I don't know if you've got a cook, a butler, or a maid.
I don't know if you've got a yard with a hammock in the shade.
I don't know if you've got some shelter, say some place to hide.
I don't know if you live with friends in whom you can confide.
I don't know if you've got a family, say a mom or dad.
I don't know if you love at all, but I bet you wish you had.

CHORUS:
Come and go with me to my father's house.
Come and go with me to my father's house.
It's a big, big house with lots and lots of room.
A big, big table with lots and lots of food.
A big, big yard where we can play football.
A big, big house, it's my father's house.
All I know is a big, big house with rooms for everyone.
All I know is lots of land where we can play and run.
All I know is you need love, and I've got a family.
All I know is you're all alone, why not come with me.

Repeat CHORUS.

When my mind is free, you know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue, the guitar's comin' through to soothe me ~

ok guys i think i have been leading you down the wrong alley, i just got a call filling me in on the details. I am playing for 300 kids (500 people in total) for the grand finale of a summer camp going on in a nearby city. I think i will go buy some tambourines, rhythm sticks etc for some involvement from the kids. I am still working on the songs, and my song selection. I have never played for so many people. and I am SSOOO excited!!! :D :D :D

I am not gloating. I was just so overwhelmed when the women told me how many people. I expected like 30 kids in a small room haha... i was wrong, i am creating my song list now. i think i will play some popular modern tunes(drops of jupiter-train, stuck in a moment-u2), as well as some classic rock(knocking on heavens doors etc.) I figure the best way to keep kids interested is to play music they will recognize. I also figured knocking on heavens doors would be a good song to get kids involved with. Ive still got lots of song choosing to do... this is going to be a long week haha

If the kids know that you know what you are doing , then they would sure enjoy too.

They will even enjoy pink floyd's Wish you were here , provided you get the attitude right in.

If possible , record the event and atleast get some pics.

Best of luck !
