My daughter is having a "sock hop" at her Elementary school. They asked me if I could play music from the 50's. I was hoping a few of you might know a couple of songs, with titles or artists that would be appropriate for children ages 6-9 years old. I need enough songs for a few hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance to any of you up to this challenge!

Kidz bop gold has some useful tunes and their always absolutely appropriate for young kidz. You could prob get away with a few other classics outside of the 50's too. Two hours of fun 50's for kids is kind of difficult to pull off without mixing in some other stuff.
