1. Anyone of any age may enter the Grandparents Day Song Contest.
2. Children: Select an old familiar children’s
song (songs that are free or public domain) and put new words to the song.
Let your rhyme tell about fun activities with your grandparents, stories
they tell you, your appreciation of them. Maybe even a song about talking
with your your grandparents by phone or computer. Or perhaps playing video
games together.
Entrants
under age l8 will need parental permission signed.
(a) Click here for great examples of songs to use.
(b) You can create your own original melody and let us know about it.
3. Adults: You may select an old familiar melody (one
in the public domain) or you may compose your own melody. The words for
your song would then speak of the bond between grandparents and grandchildren -- in
general or personal terms.
4. Teachers and church groups: Select one of the songs
currently displayed here,
and teach it to your students. Add rhythm instruments and/or dance movements
if you wish.
5. Upon completion of rehearsing your song, get out the video camera.
It’s showtime! Invite a friend or relative to videotape you singing
your song. Or include relatives in your singing group. Or let your church
or school classes sing your song on videotape.
6. Upload your song video toYouTube.
7. Final Step: Send us an e-mail (info@grandparents-day.com) as to where your entry is on You Tube.
