about

My Flag – words and music by Joanie Calem
I present this song with an oversized Israeli flag, and invite the
children to sit around the flag, holding onto it with me, and waving
it up and down as they sing the echoes of the song with me. It is a
great way to spark a discussion with older children of the different
symbolism of different countries’ flags. Each phrase has an echo in
the first two lines of each verse.

lyrics

My flag is blue (echo), my flag is white (echo).
It flies by day (echo), it flies by night (echo).
Blue for the sky, and white for the sand
These are the colors of my land.

My flag is blue (echo), my flag is white (echo).
The colors dance (echo), they are so bright (echo).
White for the clouds and blue for the sea
These are the colors dancing round me.

My flag is blue (echo), my flag is white (echo).
It flies by day (echo), it flies by night (echo).
Blue for the sky, and white for the sand
These are the colors of my land.
