Hold it High
(sung to Skip to my Lou)
Hold up your torch, hold it high (children hold imaginary torch high in the air)
Shine your light into the sky
Walk with pride, don’t be slow (children walk around holding their ‘torch’ high)
It’s the Olympic Torch, off we go!
From city to city, town to town (stretch to ‘up’ and bend knees to ‘down’)
All around the country, up and down
So hold your torch, hold it high (repeat instructions to first verse)
Shine your light into the sky
Pass it on
(Sit in a circle – clap your left palm with the right palm of the person sitting to the left of you, and your right palm with the left palm of the person sitting to your right)
Hand clapping song
Pass it on (clap x 3)
Pass it on (clap x 3)
Shine your light (clap x 3)
Shine your light (clap x 3)
Watch the flame (clap x 3)
Watch the flame (clap x 3)
Pass it on (clap x 3)
Pass it on (clap x 3)
Light the Flame
(sung to Frère Jacques)
Light the Flame
Light the Flame
Get ready to go
Get ready to go
Pass it to another
Pass it to another
Open the Games
With the sacred Flame
