Mix the type of songs
Hymns are good, (Stand Up for Jesus, Amazing Grace), children's action songs (Looby Loo, Heads, shoulders, knees and toes), rounds (Row your boat, London’s burning), folksongs from the UK, or the country of the resident (Blow the wind southerly), songs from the musicals (I could have danced all night), pop songs by popular singers (Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Beatles, Nat King Cole etc), pub songs (Roll out the barrel), local songs from the area (in South East London, Lambeth Walk). Any songs that are well known by the majority of people in the room will create a positive and lively atmosphere.
