Sunshine Medley Lyrics

Jump out wide into a V jump, 4 3 2 1
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are grey
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
So please don’t take my sunshine away

March on the spot, and use your power arms, 4 3 2 1

Jump up and down and circle your arms in front of your body, 4 3 2 1
The sun is shining, the sun is shining
Shining, shining, shining, shining
I’m so happy; I want to jump for joy
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump for joy!

March on the spot, and use your power arms, 4 3 2 1

Jump out wide into a V jump, 4 3 2 1
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are grey
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
So please don’t take my sunshine away

Jump up and down and circle your arms in front of your body, 4 3 2 1
The sun is shining, the sun is shining
Shining, shining, shining, shining
I’m so happy; I want to jump for joy
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump for joy!

Small squats, throw your arms up into the sky
4 3 2 1
So let the sunshine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So let the sunshine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sunshine in
So let the sunshine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sunshine in

Dynamics is the varying levels of softness and loudness. Create two flash cards - one featuring a picture of a large sun and the other card featuring a small sun. Choose a leader who can either show the large sun or the small sun. The large sun means children have to sing loudly and the small sun means children have to sing softly.

Create a medium sized sun flash card and now give three options to either sing loudly, softly or normal.
