CANADA IN MY POCKET (Green, Blue & Purple pick any verse. They are to bring their own coins pictures and stand to sing their chose verse)
Michael Mitchell

Chorus: I've got Canada in my pocket. A little bit of history.
A penny and a nickel and a quarter and a dime
mean a lot to you and me.
It's more than pocket money. They're the symbols of our land.
they're pictures of important things for which this country stands.

The maple leaf, the maple leaf, It's a beautiful sight to see.
It waves, 'Hello' to us below from the top of a maple tree.
and with every year that passes. It grows like you and me.
So, should we all grow straight and tall like the lovely maple tree.

The beaver, oh the beaver, It's a beautiful sight to see.
He's a happy, furry animal like a teddy bear with teeth.
He's never ever lazy. He works all night and day.
Building houses for his family. He's got no time for play.

Chorus

The schooner, oh the schooner. It's a beautiful sight to see.
It's a great big wooden sailing ship that can sail across the sea.
And it brings to other countries, the things that people need
And it brings back things like chocolate bars and books for us to read.

The caribou the caribou, it's a beautiful sight to see
He's a really big strong animal I'm sure you'll all agree.
He looks like Santa's reindeer. And he loves it when the wind blows cold.
So he lives up north with the polar bears, cause he likes the ice and snow.

Chorus.
