Have your children stand and put their right hand over their hearts. You may have to help them at first. Have your flag leader hold the flag and lead the Pledge of Allegiance

The Pledge
I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.

Follow the pledge by singing and clapping to Your a Grand Old Flag

You're a Grand Old Flag
You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
