    I'm new to this, so hope that someone can help out.

    I've just started learning Irish and have begun helping out in a local Naionra to help, esp as I have a 4.5yr old who has just started Jnr Infants, who is starting to learn Irish also. Anyway, they sing a lot of songs there and I can't find the words for them anywhere? They don't have them there but have said they are the usual songs for preschool / juniors.

    One of them is about a pig who goes to a fair and falls in the river?
    Another is about doing the washing, the children put in their clothes, add water & powder, wash them and hang them out???

    Plus if anyone knows any others

    Can anyone help me??

    Heya,

    There is a lovely cd called 'Gugalaí Gug' created by Futa Fata and it has loads and loads of children's rhymes on it. Now it didn't have the words of all of them, think there was c. 35 -40 tracks on it, but you could do the googling once you have the titles of the rhymes. It's great for practicing sounds and it is all native speakers on it so that is a major plus. It's the real thing.

    Should be on
