SCARF SONGS

TOSS YOUR SCARVES
Tune:  “Jingle Bells”
 
Toss your scarves, toss your scarves
Toss them way up high.
Toss your scarves up in the air,
‘til they reach the sky.

Wave your scarves, wave your scarves,
Twirl them ‘round and ‘round.
Twirl your scarves one more time,
Then let them, all fall down.
                                                Jean Warren

IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT
Tune:  “If You’re Happy And You Know It”
 
If you’re happy and you know it, wave your scarf.
If you’re happy and you know it, wave your scarf.
If you’re happy and you know it, your face will surely show it.
If you’re happy and you know it, wave your scarf.

BUTTERFLIES

Butterflies, butterflies, flapping around.
Visiting flowers, not making a sound.
Flapping your wings, as you go.
Flapping your wings, up high, then low.
Butterflies, butterflies, flapping around.
Visiting flowers, not making a sound.
                                                Jean Warren
Pin two scarves to the middle of each child’s back.
Have them hold onto an outer corner to create wings.
Recite the poem, as your children fly around the room.
 

FLAGS ARE WAVING
Tune :  “Frere Jacques”

Flags are waving,
Flags are waving,
In the air,
Everywhere.
It’s a celebration
For a special nation.
Wave  your flag.
Wave your flag.
                Jean Warren
Let children help you name a country, then have them wave their flags for that country.
