The Teddy Bears Picnic

1. The Teddy Bear's Picnic

a musical interlude If you go down in the woods today, Youre sure of a big surprise If you go down in the woods today Youd better go in disguise, For every bear that ever there was, Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic. a musical interlude Picnic time for Teddy Bears, The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today Watch them, catch them unawares, And see them picnic on their holiday. See them gaily gad about, They love to play and shout; They never have any cares; At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies, Will take them home to bed, Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.

------------------------------Follow up activity :

------------------------------Give the kids vocabulary for the picnic. You can use the first picture and ask them the vocabulary of the things they see in the picnic picture. The kids can have a picnic in the garden of the school. Ask every kid to bring something. By the time they enjoy the food they can check the vocabulary and listen to the song again.

2. Give a Little Whistle

From: Pinocchio Lyrics: Ned Washington

Give a little Whistle

Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! When you meet temptation and the urge is very strong Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! Not just a little squeak, pucker up and blow And if your whistle's weak, yell, "Jiminy Cricket!" Take the straight and narrow path And if you start to slide Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! And always let your conscience be your guide When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! When you meet temptation and the urge is very strong Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! Not just a little squeak, pucker up and blow And if your whistle's weak, yell, "Jiminy Cricket!" Take the straight and narrow path And if you start to slide Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! And always let your conscience be your guide

Use the hand out to provide practice.

------------------------------Follow up activity :

Ask every kid to bring something to the class: some milk, flour, juice (mostly things they can carry easily without a risk. Things they can have at lunch time). Then they show their things and mention the different ways to count those things.

Pop goes the Weasel

Cultural Information :

What does "pop goes the weasel" mean? --Birdaire, via AOL Dear Birdaire: Who knows? It's basically a folk song and nursery rhyme that later saw service as a music-hall ditty. It's tough enough deciphering rock lyrics written in 1975; what do you expect with a tune going back to the 17th century? But Straight Dope curator of music Tom Miller said he'd give it his best shot. Tom collected two dozen versions of "Pop Goes the Weasel" from both sides of the Atlantic. Many were similar, with one key difference: in North America, the opening line was generally "all around the mulberry bush," possibly due to conflation with the similar tune "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush." In the UK, however, it was usually "all around the cobbler's bench." This gives us a better idea of the song's original meaning. Most authorities think "Pop Goes the Weasel" describes the acts of weaving, spinning, and sewing. A weasel, Tom reports, was a mechanism used by tailors, cobblers, and hatters that "popped" when the spool was full of thread. Some argue that to pop the weasel is also cockney slang meaning to pawn one's coat. This makes sense in light of the second verse of the kids' version: "A penny for a spool of thread / A penny for a needle / That's the way the money goes," etc. A version popular in 19th-century English music halls makes things even clearer: "Up and down the City Road / In and out the Eagle / That's the way the money goes," etc. The Eagle in question was a London tavern; clearly the lyricist was describing the consequences of spending too little time at the cobbler's bench and too much on a barstool.

A youre adorable

------------------------------Pedagogic Notes :
The kids should go over the song and the teacher can teach the alphabet. The cards provided here can be photocopied in color paper and plastified for you to create your teaching alphabet material to use in the classroom. After playing the song and practicing with the Alphabet, the kids can play the following game. This activity was taken from the book: Whats in the cards from David Harrington, Hisako Tahara and Alastair Graham- Marr.

------------------------------ABC Air Writing :

Arrange students into groups of up to seven or eight. Choose one student to be the first air writer. Place a thoroughly shuffled half deck of upper-case or lower-case letters face down in front of the air writer. The air writer randomly chooses on e letter from the deck of cards. The air writer then tries to write this letter in the air in a large manner, using his or her finger or a prop such as a pointer. Other students try to guess what letter the student is writing. The student who guesses correctly becomes the next air writer.

Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Oh, that's the Woody Woodpecker's tune Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!

------------------------------Pedagogic Notes :
The song is ideal to provide the kids with practice to memorize the parts of the body. First you introduce the vocabulary for the body and then you explain the lyrics of the song. The kids stand up in a circle. Ask them to follow your movements as they sing. First they just follow you and you sing and mime for them. Then they sing with you by doing the actions. Then they sing and dance while you watch them follow the tape. This is the ideal Total Physical Response activity to use with the kids.

Use the following parts of speech. You can Xerox, cut, and plastify the cards provided and give them to the kids for them to make their sentences. You can simulate the magic trick by putting a Subject +Verb+ Complement in a hat and come up with a sentence.
