Opening Song: “Oh Hey, Oh Hi, Hello” by Jim Gill

We march along.

We march along.

We lift our feet high off the ground.

We march and sing a happy song

As we go marching on!

Prop Collection Song: “Clean It Up” by Laurie Berkner

Clean it up, clean it up.

You can make it fun to do

And your friends can help you too.

Clean it up, clean it up

And put it away, put it away.

Put your things away!

Fingerplay: Marching

Marching, marching,

Let’s all march down the street.

Marching, marching,

We’ll wave at everyone we meet.

Marching, marching,

Hear the sound of our tramping feet.
