Way Up In The Sky

Song of the Month · 2019

I learned this song at summer camp. The great thing about camp songs, is they are meant to be sung together. And they are often great for a variety of ages. I now sing this with infants up to age ten. The large motions engage babies and are fun for older kids to do with exaggeration. With babies I sing quietly and slowly , as in the recording. With older kids it can be very silly as you make your voice louder and softer. You can really put your personality into it!

Lyrics

The little birds fly

Way down in the nest

The little birds rest

With a wing on the left

And a wing on the right

The little birds sleep

All through the night
(Spoken) Shhh------, They're sleeping!

The bright sun comes out

The dew falls away

"Good morning, good morning," the little birds say
