CAMPFIRES BURNING

 

Campfires burning, campfires burning

Draw nearer, draw nearer,

In the gloaming, in the gloaming,

Come sing and be merry.

 

(This can be repeated as a round)

 

 

BIRTHDAY SONG

 

If you were born in January, stand up, stand up,

If you were born in January, stand up, stand up,

And altogether let us sing, the praises of our glorious Queen

God save our gracious Queen.

 

Repeat with all the months of the year until eventually everyone is standing up. Then sing the National Anthem
