Flag Day Songs, Poems and Fingerplays

 Flag Day is June 14

Flag Song
(sung to "Mary Had a Little Lamb")

Our flag is red, white, & blue red,
white & blue red,
white & blue
Our flag is red, white, & blue
in the U.S.A.

Our flag has 50 stars,
50 stars, 50 stars,
Our flag has 50 stars, in the U.S.A.

Our flag has 13 stripes,
13 stripes, 13 stripes,
Our flag has 13 stripes,
in the U.S.A.

American Flag
(sung to "Frere Jacques")

What is red? What is white?
What is blue? What is striped?
What has many stars? What has many stars?
Can you guess, how many there are?
Then the kids shout 50.

Down at the Flagpole

(sung to "Down By the Station")

Down at the flagpole,
Early in the morning,
We will raise our flag,
The red, white, and blue.
We stand at attention,
It's something that we do.
We salute the colors,
The red, white, and blue.

The Red White and Blue

(sung to "When the Saints Come Marching In")

Oh, when the flag comes marching in,
Oh, when the flag comes marching in,
How I love to see its three colors,
The red, white, and blue.

A Flag for Me and You

(sung to "Three Blind Mice")

Red, white and blue,
Red, white and blue,
A flag for me, A flag for you.
It is the flag of our great nation,
It's honored by each generation.
Join me now in a celebration,
Red, white and blue.

Our Country's Flag

Please sit down, everyone,

I'm going to tell a story

(point to mouth)

About our country's famous flag-

Its nickname is Old Glory.

(point to flag)

Stars and stripes are on our flag,

They're red and white and blue.

(point to flag colors)

It tells the world that we are free

And proud to be here too!

(Nod Head)

Stars and Stripes

(sung to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")

Wave the flag, wave the flag,

(wave arm like a flag)

As we march around.

Hold it high to show our pride,

Don't let it touch the ground.

Wave the flag, wave the flag,

Dear red, white, and blue.

Stars and stripes forever bright,

America-here's to you!
