Maybe from Annie.

nicest kids in town from hairspray- just edit out the race parts.
or you can't stop the beat also from hairspray
or never fully dressed without a smile from annie.
or if your kids are really creative then do a song from CATS like jellical cats and they can act like cats they might like it.
good luck!

pick musical songs like from rent or newsies or annie, or steam heat with the hats, thats an easy one if you do the original choreography

over the rainbow would be really cute with classical ballet. like, have some peices of colored mesh or something like that, and do some tandus(i can't spell french words) and really simple stuff, like arms over the heads and lean left and right, and then walk around with each girl holding a peice of cloth, then somehow make the shape of a rainbow out of it. then turn towards the back, run in a half circle towards the front, in a line, and do an arabask to each side, then turn around, then turn in a big circle and get back in line, then curtsy and run off stage. i know i got carried away, sorry. i just think it would be cute. hope this gave you a brain spark!
