Singing Time: “Blackbird”
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Movement Song: “The Farmer in the Dell”
Children join hands and dance around the farmer, who stands in the center of the circle as they sing. At the end of the first verse, the farmer chooses his wife, who joins him inside the circle. At the end of the next verse, the wife takes a child, and so on, until the last verse when everyone is in the circle except the cheese , who stands alone. Whoever ends up being the cheese becomes the farmer for the next round. If you have less than 10 children, you can remove some of the verses.

Hi-ho, the derry-o

Goodbye Song
Reach your hands up high. Bring them way down low.
Reach your hands up high. Bring them way down low.
To the side, to the side. To the side, to the side.
To the front, to the back. To the front, to the back.
On top of your head, and now in your lap.
Cuz now it's time to go.
Goodbye everyone. Goodbye everyone. Goodbye, everyone.
Thank you for making music.
