The kids sang the famous "Kye Kye Kule" and "Simama Ka", both songs from Africa. This songs are kind of kids joke, so they sing and can make movements as far as the songs go. Also you can sing it in different ways to make it more fun, like start soft, then strong, screamming etc.

Other way to make Kye Kye Kule:
The last song was "Ég elska blómin" wich in icelandic means "I love the flowers".
Picture and lyrics:
"Ég elska blómin
Ég elska liljurnar
Ég elska fjöllin
Ég elska brekkurnar
Ég elska varðeldinn
Þegar húmar að
Búmdídíjatsí
Búmdídíjatsí
Bumdídíjatsí
Bumdídíjatsí
Bum"
You can sing this song in english if you want:
"I like the flowers
I like the daffodils
I like the mountains
I like the rolling hills
I like the fireside when the lights are low
Búmdídíjatsí..."
This song was found in this icelandic web site.
