OUR PATRIOTIC SONGS

We will first start off our program by singing 

our national anthem

"The Star Spangled Banner"

IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND

THE IMPORTANCE OF SINGING THIS SONG

WE ARE GOING TO WATCH A VIDEO

ON THE HISTORY OF OUR 

NATIONAL ANTHEM OF....

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

GO AHEAD AND STAND UP 

TO SHOW RESPECT FOR OUR FLAG

AND THE MEN AND WOMEN

WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED

TO PROTECT THE COUNTRY

WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED 

TO LIVE IN

AND TO HELP KEEP US SAFE

AND FREE

WE ARE NOW GOING TO SING

OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM

BELOW IS A HANDOUT I CREATED 

TO HELP STUDENTS LEARN THE SONG.

The sign language for "FREE" is 

crossing the wrists out in front of you, 

like someone tied your wrists together with rope 

in front of you and is holding you captive; 

then you break the ropes by breaking free and 

now you are brave by 

holding bent arms out to side like in the picture. 

This is like how we are learning 

"free" and "brave" with the 

"You're a Grand Ole' Flag" song.

I would like to do a sign language video of 

"You're a Grand Ole Flag" and post on YouTube 

for the kids to practice at home.
