My Country

Regardless of the country that you live in, patriotism is important.  The Primary Songbook  has 2 great songs about showing patriotism - p. 224 and 225.  Once the children know these, they will become favorites.

"My Country" p. 224

  • Sing the song for the children
  • Tell them that countries all over the world have different landscapes:
    • mountains
    • deserts
    • icebergs
  • Sing the first verse then ask them to sing with you.
    • Ask: What kind of landscape do we have here where we live?
    • What other landscapes does this song mention?
    • Did you hear any rhyming words? pride - wide, bound - found
  • Sing the second verse
    • Ask the children to share what this verse talks about.
    • Can it apply to any country? Why?
    • Sing it with the children.  Listen for rhymes.
  • Sing the whole song a few times
