In class we wait until the text has been read and then take turns with the interactive parts.)

Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho Lyrics

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
and the walls came a-tumbling down.
You may talk about your men of Gideon.
You may talk about the men of Saul;
but there's none like good old Joshua
at the battle of Jericho (that mornin').

Up to the walls of Jericho
they marched with spears in hand.
"Come blow them ram horns, " Joshua said
"'Cause the battle is in *God’s hands."

Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow.
The trumpets began to sound.
Joshua commanded the children to shout
And the walls came a-tumbling down.

 *I changed Our to God’s
