It's anti-bullying week and I'm trying to find a song based around kindness, suitable for a primary school assembly...

I've done a search but have not really come up with much. I'm relying on you guys for help now; you've never failed me before!

You'll never walk alone? - might be able to get video etc for kids to sing along to

ink is black, page is white (specifically racism I think).

'You've got a friend' - James Taylor

You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am,
I'll come running.....

many people have sung this James Taylor, Carole king, Michael jackson i think - would be good song

Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys...just considering each of them now. The trouble is, as you can imagine, all of these suggested songs get quite a lot of exposure in various school assemblies!

Another one - you shouldnt get me started.

'I am a rock' Simon & Garfunkel - to show how someone that had been bullied might feel .

I suppose at least they will be familiar!!!!

primary school assemblies have certainliy changed since my days - but then it was an anglo-catholic primary in the 1960's

This is a Catholic school - but I agree, very different to the classical music that we listened to at my school!

Think I may have found one - Try a Little Kindness. Just listeneing to the Glen Campbell version on a particular site.

Thanks guys. x
