FLAG DAY

FLAG DAY ISN'T FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS, BUT I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD FOLLOW UP FOR MEMORIAL DAY.  YOU COULD ALSO USE THIS SONG EVERY MORNING BEFORE SAYING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. 

We Love Our Flag – June 14th

(Tune:  “Farmer in the Dell” -  “Happy Everything” CD Disk 2))

We love our flag.                  (Pretend to wave a flag as you sing.)

We love our flag.

We love America

And we love our flag.

Red, white, and blue,              (Hold up 3 fingers.)

Red, white, and blue,

The colors of our country’s flag

Are red, white, and blue.

50 stars of white                  (Open and shut fingers like stars.)

On a field of blue

Stand for 50 states

Where we live, it’s true.

Thirteen stripes                  (March in place like soldiers.)

In red and white

Stand for the colonies

For freedom they did fight.

We love our flag.                  (Pretend to wave flag.)

We love our flag.

We love America

And we love our flag.

Flags – Teach children flag etiquette and the importance of not dragging the flag on the ground.  Give children red, white, and blue paper and challenge them to design a flag.
