It was a bright and breezy day in late spring, and the Grade 6 students at Sweden’s school were enjoying a well-deserved recess. The playground was bustling with activity, but under the shade of a grand oak tree, Sweden and France had found a quiet spot to eat their snacks and chat.
Sweden, with his blonde hair tousled by the wind, was munching on an apple, while France, wearing a colorful scarf, was savoring her sandwich. Their conversation drifted to their favorite topic: flags.
“You know, Sweden,” France said with a mischievous smile, “I’ve been thinking about how much fun we have with our flag songs. Remember the one we made last year?”
Sweden grinned. “Oh, definitely! That was a blast. How about we make a new flag song today? We can come up with something even more fun!”
France’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Great idea! Let’s start with the classic tune we did before. It’s perfect for a flag song.”
With a laugh, Sweden took a deep breath and began to sing, his voice carrying a playful tone:
“I’m a flaaag! I’m a flag flag flaag!
I’m a flag flag flaag!
Waving high, oh so high, in the sky so blue,
Every color, every shape, tells a story true!”
France joined in enthusiastically, her voice harmonizing with Sweden’s as they continued:
“I’m the flag of France, blue, white, and red,
We wave for liberty, and the light we spread!
Stripes and stars, our colors so bright,
We wave proudly in the morning light!”
Sweden chuckled and added his verse with a proud smile:
“And I’m the Swedish flag, blue and gold,
We shine with the light, and a story told,
Waving high in the sky, so clear,
A symbol of hope for all who are near!”
As they sang, Iceland and Finland, who had been playing nearby, heard the catchy tune and came over, intrigued by the lively melody.
“What’s this about flags?” Iceland asked, curious, as he joined the group.
“We’re making a new flag song!” France replied with a grin. “Join us!”
Finland, who was with Iceland, nodded and stepped closer. “I’d love to join in! It sounds like so much fun!”
Iceland and Finland eagerly added their voices:
“I’m the Icelandic flag, red, white, and blue,
With a cross that’s bold and true,
We wave for strength and unity,
In the land of ice and fiery sea!”
Finland chimed in with his verse:
“And I’m the Finnish flag, blue and white,
We wave for peace, shining bright,
With a cross so strong and a heart so true,
A symbol of our spirit shining through!”
The group sang together, their voices blending in harmony under the oak tree:
“We’re flags of Europe, bright and grand,
Each with a story, each with a stand,
Colors shining, stories told,
Waving high, brave and bold!”
Their friends Norway and Denmark, who had been playing nearby, heard the song and came over, intrigued by the lively melody.
“What’s this about flags?” Norway asked, curious.
“We’re making a new flag song!” France replied with a grin. “Join us!”
Denmark and Norway eagerly joined in, adding their own verses:
“I’m the Danish flag, red and white,
A cross that stands with all its might,
We wave for freedom, strong and bold,
A story of courage that’s been told!”
“And I’m the Norwegian flag, red, white, and blue,
With a cross that’s proud and true,
We wave for unity and pride,
With our colors shining far and wide!”
The group sang together, their voices blending in harmony under the oak tree:
“We’re flags of Europe, bright and grand,
Each with a story, each with a stand,
Colors shining, stories told,
Waving high, brave and bold!”
As they sang, their classmates gathered around, clapping and laughing. The fun and enthusiasm were infectious, and soon everyone was joining in, creating a joyful and spirited celebration of flags.
After their performance, Sweden and France, along with their friends, were surrounded by classmates who cheered and congratulated them.
“That was amazing!” one of their classmates exclaimed. “You guys really know how to make flag songs fun!”
Sweden and France beamed with pride. “Thanks! We had a great time making it,” Sweden said.
As recess came to an end, the group of friends walked back to their classrooms, still humming the tune of their flag song. They were filled with a sense of camaraderie and happiness, knowing they had created something special together.
Their flag song became a beloved memory of their Grade 6 year, a reminder of their creativity, friendship, and the joy they found in celebrating their countries and cultures through music.
