13 Stripes on the Flag


Wissinger, Kathleen, ringTrue

Sing the thirteen original colonies in the order they joined the Union in a catchy song and you have the crux of “13 Stripes on the Flag” - fun to sing and cleverly teaching American history at the same time (a la “Fifty Nifty”). Just for fun, the order of the first nine states in the song are mirrored by the melodic intervals sung.
