Bird and Flower Day Program 



Birdie Clareta Smith 



EUensburg, Wash. 



When using the following program, plan the school work so that 

 the work for the program will be a part of the regular school work. 



The songs given can be replaced by other similar songs that the 

 children are familiar with. 



Have the children make their own conversation. 



The platform could have brown cloth over the floor with leaves 

 scattered upon it, or, if the program is given outside, choose if 

 possible, a place where the grass is a little brown. 



Have each child make his or her own dress using crepe paper. 



Have the same nimiber of children to represent birds that there 

 are children representing flowers, seven of each is a good number.

 can be made of paper or cheap cloth. Brown wrapping paper is 

 very good.
