Makaton - OVER THE RAINBOW - Singing Hands

We love this GLEE cover of Over the Rainbow - another fave #popsong we've learnt with our #Makaton #choir during lockdown. Be ready with your colourful scarves, ribbons and parachutes for the musical interlude to make the song colourful & multisensory! Enjoy!

Lyrics and Makaton transcription

Somewhere over the rainbow (PLACE / OVER / RAINBOW)
Way up high (HIGH)
There's a land that I dreamed of (LAND / DREAM)
Once in a lullaby (SLEEP / SONG)
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow (PLACE / OVER / RAINBOW)
Skies are blue (SKY / BLUE)
And the dreams that you dare to dream (DREAM)
Really do come true (BECOME / TRUE)

[musical interlude – have your ribbons and scarves ready to swish]

Oh, Someday I'll wish upon a star (DAY / WISH / STAR)
And wake up where the clouds are (WAKE UP / CLOUDS)
Far behind me (GONE/ ME)
Where troubles melt like lemon drops (WORRY / GONE)
High above the chimney tops (ABOVE / CHIMNEY)
That's where you'll find me (PLACE / YOU / FIND / ME)
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow (PLACE / OVER / RAINBOW)
Bluebirds fly (BLUE BIRD / FLY)
Birds fly over the rainbow (BIRD / FLY / OVER / RAINBOW)
Why then, oh, why can't I? (WHY / WHY / NO / I)
