Kymberly 2nd Aug 2014 Activities Coordinator

I have a routine where i suddenly say the first line of a familiar song & residents have to finish it. I can be in the middle of getting a cuppa and just sing 'I beg your pardon...' and they come back straight away...'I never promised you a rose garden.' :) Can anyone recommend a site where i can get a list of familiar song please?
