Instructions

eating. This is difficult for hungry children. This song helps make this routine
more enjoyable.
2. Sing this song to the tune of "Old Gray Mare."
Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,
Birds in the wilderness, birds in the wilderness,
Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,
Waiting to be fed.
Waiting to be fed (children tilt their heads back like baby birds waiting to be
fed, and smack their lips)
Waiting to be fed (repeat above).
Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,
Waiting to be fed.
