skippy Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi all Hope your all well? Just wondered if anyone has some suggestions of music I could play to use in a slide show of photos of children. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieC Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I've use 'you've got a friend in me' from toy story before and that worked well with photos of children with all their new friends they'd made throughout their Reception year Rosie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I've use 'you've got a friend in me' from toy story I've used that one too - also Stevie Wonder's "You are the sunshine of my life" for groups of photos of parents with their children at pre-school events. Take That's "greatest day" or whatever it is called for photos of children celebrating their achievements in various ways. Beatles' "here comes the sun" for outdoor photos. Depends what sort of mood you want to create, really! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi... been a member for ages now but this my first post - finally plucked up courage. Silly really as I go on here a few times a week without fail! I've used various music, like another member said 'You've got a friend in me' from Toy Story. Theme from Charlie and Lola always goes down well too. Also used Queen 'You're my best friend', Take that 'Never Forget' and a song I found from Tiffany (I know... blast from the past!) called 'forever young'. Its a lovely song and always fits well to photos. Hope this is of some help as I've had so much help over the past couple of years from ideas/resources on here. Only 1 week and 1 day to go till Summer holidays...yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NettyNoodles Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 We are just about to do end of year assembly - am using Green Day's 'Hope You Had the Time of Your Life' to accompany slideshow of photos. NettyNoodles Had brilliant assembly today, despite 2 of the 5 little men in their flying saucers having fistycuffs over who was going to fly away last! Played 'Hope You Had the Time of Your Life' with slideshow - children laughed and parents cried - result! Can't believe my 'little bairns' are moving on NettyNoodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 'Reach for the Stars' - I cry everytime I sing it in my head even! They played it at year 6 leavers assembly when my daughter left (she's 21 now) - so lots of you might not even know what I'm talking about - it was by Steps or S Club 7 (always got those two confused). Another one is from a film - sorry only came on for a second so wasn't prepared! Don't know if its Fiddler on the Roof - it goes, 'is this the little girl I married, is this the little boy at play' - and then I go blank but sure you get the jist, its all about growing up.
