By Sam Allred, CouncilMom over Music, Inspiration, and Laughter ![]() Happy 4th of July! It’s a day of barbeques, fireworks, and parades -- and you can have even more fun by teaching your little ones some patriotic songs to sing during the festivities. Thanks to childfun.com and famlii.com for the suggestions! NOTE: The concept of using a familiar tune and simply inserting fresh lyrics is one to remember and use whenever you're in need of a song to lighten up a learning moment! It's called "Piggy-backing" and is just as fun as it sounds! On the Fourth of July (Sung to the tune of London Bridge) It’s our country’s birthday, Birthday, birthday. It’s our country’s birthday, On the Fourth of July! Fireworks go Snap, Snap, Snap! (Sung to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb) Fireworks go snap, snap, snap! Crack, crack, crack! Zap, zap, zap! Fireworks make me clap, clap, clap On Independence Day! This Land is Your Land This land is your land, This land is my land, From California to the New York Island, From the Redwood Forest, To the Gulf Stream waters, This land was made for you and me. Way Up in the Sky (Sung to the tune of ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” Wave, wave, wave the flag, Hold it very high. Watch the colors gently wave, Way up in the sky. March, march, march around, Hold the flag up high. Wave, wave, wave the flag, Way up in the sky.
