Hi again!
Last night our area music advisers showed up to teach us some new songs.
Well, no point giving you the words to the songs, since you'd need the music
too, and I'm not about to type THAT in. But...
We did two really fun rhymes, and here they are:
------------------------------------------------
1000 hairy savages
Sitting down to lunch
Gobble gobble, glump glump,
Munch, munch munch!
The girls loved this. First the leader did it in a more or less normal
voice, and got the girls to the point where they could recite it with her.
Then she modified it each time 'round. They did it with an English accent,
an Australian accent, a southern USA accent, and then in different dramatic
ways according to the girls' suggestions - scary, sleepy, etc. Everybody
liked it, but I'd say the brownies (ages 6 to 9) were most enthusiastic.
-------------------------------------------------
A way down south, not very far
A jay bird died of the WHOOPing cough
He WHOOPED so hard with the WHOOPING cough
That he WHOOPED his head and tail right off.
You'll use up some energy with this one! Everybody crouches down with
fingers touching the floor. Every time you come to a WHOOP, everybody
springs up to a standing position, with hands way up above your heads. Then
you quickly return to a crouching position, only to spring up again at the
next whoop. This is exhausting! Good for those squirmy little kids... it
was very popular, too.
