In Cub Scouts, we like to sing fun songs, especially songs about Cub Scouting or something gross or fun. We can even make our own NEW song. We don't have to write a new tune though. We can use a tune from a song we know, like "3 Blind Mice." It's an easy tune to remember and an easy tune to sing. Here's one example:
Road Kill Stew
(tune: Three Blind Mice)
Road Kill stew,
Road Kill stew,
Tastes so good,
Just like it should.
You go on down to the Interstate
You wait for the critter to meet its fate.
You take it home and you make it great!
Road Kill stew,
Road Kill stew.
Now, YOU compose a song. First think of something that seems funny, but not insulting. Pick some words that rhyme so you can put them as the last word in pairs of lines. Some examples:
wise - eyes | shirt - dirt | cake - mistake |
lad - bad - sad - mad | shred - head | snow - blow |
boys - toys - noise | scout - shout - snout | quiver - shiver |
grain - plain | song - strong - long | cub - shrub - stub |
sky - fly - tie - pie | wave - brave | air - there - share |
tree - free - three - me |
Three Blind Mice Three blind mice. They all run after the farmer's wife. | ___________________ (title) __________________________ __________________________________ |
A thaumatrope is a card with different designs on each side which, when the card is twirled, blend into one. Create one or both of these nature thaumatropes.
1. Cut out a pair of pictures. You can make them square or circular.
2. If you cut out square shapes, glue them both right-side-up on opposite sides of a pencil or straw. Place the pencil between your palms and rub your palms in opposite directions, back and forth.
3. If you cut out circular shapes, place one upside-down behind the other. Then poke a tiny hole on the sides of both papers and tie a string (about 6" each) into each hole. Now twirl the string so it gets cork-screwed. Then alternately relax the pull and tighten the pull on the string so it rotates.
In both cases, you should begin to see both images at the same time!
