Ten In The Bed Lyrics and Actions

♫ Here we go!

There were ten in the bed [Hold up 10 fingers.]

and the little one said, [Hold your hands close together, indicating 'small.']

"Roll over, roll over" [Roll hands around each other, or each student turns to the right and says, "Roll over! Roll over!"]

So they all rolled over and one fell out. [Everyone rolls to the right and the student in the first chair 'falls out' of the bed.]

Nine! [Hold up 10 fingers and then take one away, leaving 9.]

There were nine in the bed [Hold up 9 fingers.]

and the little one said,

"Roll over, roll over"

So they all rolled over and one fell out.

Eight! [Hold up 9 fingers and then take one away, leaving 8.]

There were eight in the bed [Hold up 8 fingers.]




Seven! [Hold up 8 fingers and then take one away, leaving 7.]

There were seven in the bed [Hold up 7 fingers.]




Six! [Hold up 7 fingers and then take one away, leaving 6.]

There were six in the bed [Hold up 6 fingers.]

There were three in the bed [Hold up 3 fingers.]




Two! [Hold up 3 fingers and then take one away, leaving 2.]

There were two in the bed [Hold up 2 fingers.]



So they both rolled over and one fell out.

One! [Hold up 2 fingers and then take one away, leaving 1.]

Game: Musical chairs Set up chairs in a circle with mums sitting on the chairs. The Joeys stand on the outside of the circle behind the chair their mum is sitting on. The mums stay seated, music is played and the Joeys walk around the outside of the circle. When the music stops, they must find their mum and sit on her lap. Continue to play the game but leave all chairs in place so no-one is out or misses a turn.

Washing line relay At one end of the hall, tie a rope across (as a clothesline). Divide the Joeys and mums into two teams. Put a washing basket with towels in it in the middle of the hall. Two thirds of the way to the line put a peg bucket. On the word Go, one player from each team runs and collects a towel and two pegs and hang the towel on the clothesline, then runs back to the end of their team. They finish when everyone has had a turn or all the towels are hanging up. 15

Set the table (relay) Divide the Joeys and mums into two teams at one end of the hall. At the opposite end place two tables. At regular intervals for the length of the hall, place a plate, knife, fork and spoon. On the word Go players run and collect one of every item and "set" the table at the opposite end of the hall, then return to end of their line.

Pamper mum Mums sit on a chair and each Joey gives mum a hand massage.

It stands on its tracks; a gleaming sealed carriage, every bit is royal. The air-conditioning works silently, creating a space where only the excitement of the history of the Rajput kingdoms permeates through, clearly captured in a contemporary mode. In all, there are fourteen saloons, each equipped with two twin-bedded and two double-bedded chambers, with attached baths that have running hot and cold water and showers. The modern conveniences have been thoughtfully provided, sofas to sink into, strategically placed lights to read by, wonderfully appointed beds with comfortable furnishings, inbuilt wardrobes for the storage of one’s clothes and bags, and huge plate glass windows to watch the countryside roll past.

Outside the bedrooms, each coach also has a seating lounge where passengers can get together, just sit watch the cities as they glide past outside the windows, or enjoy a quiet cup of tea. An attached pantry with each saloon helps provide beverages and refreshments to the accompaniment of soothing piped music.

There is the comfortable bar cum lounge where you can relax over your favourite drink, burrow in a book or converse with fellow passengers. Attached to it are two restaurant cars, Maharaja and Maharani respectively, with opulently draped curtains, exquisitely crafted lights and table settings . Here accompanying chefs serve up a delicious choice of Indian, including Rajasthani, Continental and even Chinese cuisine that are a feast for the palate.

The train chugs out of Safdarjung Railway Station New Delhi cantonment on a week-long run through Rajasthan every Wednesday night, with a trip also inbuilt to Agra and the Taj Mahal. Turban-wearing attendants take over from the moment you arrive at the platform, assigning you your coupes and detailing all the facilities that are on board. The train moves by night and arrives each morning at a new destination where new experiences await you.

The cheetah is a spotted cat and a cheetal is a spotted deer. To begin the game three parallel lines are drawn on the ground about twenty feet apart. A leader is chosen and the other players divide into two teams, the cheetahs and the cheetals. The two teams stand back to back along the center line. The leader calls out loudly, ìChee-ee-eeî and then suddenly ends with ìtalsî or ìtahs.î If the word is cheetahs, the cheetahs run to the line they are facing with the cheetals in hot pursuit. If the word is cheetals, they are pursued. Those tagged are out. The game is over and can begin again when all but one have been tagged.

The Ghan Train - Adelaide - Alice Springs - Darwin

With a stop in the Outback town of Alice Springs, there’s time to explore this oasis of history, indigenous culture and natural beauty. In the Top End, you’ll take a cruise to witness the splendour of Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park and discover the Northern Territory’s vibrant tropical capital, Darwin.

Each new day begins with a fresh panorama. Awake to the essence of Central Australia, as it takes on a character of its own with each passing hour. At the end of each day, relax with a drink as you soak up the sight of a fiery Outback sunset.

The Ghan has been traversing the heart of Australia for more than eighty years. Now it’s your turn to explore the continent’s vast and

remote interior. For three days and two nights, you will discover the Red Centre and the landscapes of this extraordinary land at a relaxing pace, in comfort and style.

Whether you begin in Adelaide or Darwin, your trip will take in the sweeping Adelaide Plains and the majestic Flinders Ranges of

South Australia, and the ochre heart of the Red Centre.

Reminders

Birthdays

The end of the Orient Express: 12 December 2009...

On 12 December 2009, EuroNight train number 469 'Orient Express' left Strasbourg on its final overnight run

to Vienna, and on 13 December the celebrated name 'Orient Express' disappeared forever from the official

European timetables after 126 years. True, the Orient Express may have been the ultimate example of a knife

that's had its blade and its handle replaced many times, but this train was indeed the true descendant of that

first 1883 'Express d'Orient' and it officially carried the name 'Orient Express'. You can trace its evolution

from timetable to timetable, year to year from 1883 to 2009. On its last run, the Orient Express had evolved

into an Austrian Railways (ÖBB) EuroNight train, with one Austrian Railways air-conditioned sleeping-car (1 &

2 bed compartments, including two deluxe compartments with toilet and shower), two modern air-

conditioned couchette cars with 4 & 6 berth compartments, and an Austrian seats car. The Orient Express

was cut back to start in Strasbourg rather than Paris in June 2007 when the Paris-Strasbourg high-speed TGV

line opened, so that it could no longer be attached to a French domestic train between Paris & Strasbourg.

Although a TGV connection from Paris was provided, the writing was on the wall for this train when it stopped

directly linking the French and Austrian capitals. It had lost its Paris-Budapest Hungarian couchette car and


Paris-Bucharest Romanian sleeping-car in June 2001, and it hadn't carried any through cars for Istanbul since

the 1960s.

GAME: Game 1 2 3 Soleil (sun) From Paris

1 Joey counts 1 2 3 Soleil (sun) while the other Joey’s at the other end of the hall, while the count is happening

they must move forward and when the Joey call’s soleil (sun) the Joey’s must freeze. The count starts again

until the first Joey reaches the counter and touches the wall they then do the counting.

Game: Ac Kapiyn Bezirgan Basi Istanbul

Open the Door, Head Merchant

Two of the children hold their hands together like a bridge, and the others go under in single file. During the game they

sing this song.

- Open the gate, head merchant.

- I’ll open it, but what will you give me?

- Take the scoundrel behind me.

- One rat, Two rats, three rats.

Whoever is under the bridge when they come to the end of the rhyme is caught by the children making the bridge.

Game: Four Corners

To begin, four corners (or general areas) of the room are marked from the numbers one to four. One player is designated

to be "It," or the "counter." This player sits in the middle of the room and closes his or her eyes, or exits the room, and

counts to ten. The remaining players choose any one of the corners and quietly go and stand in that area. When the "It"

player has finished counting, she calls out one of the numbers. All players who had chosen that corner or area are out of

the game, and they sit down. Then, "It" counts again and the remaining players move to a different corner. Unless the

corner is out.

The last person to still be in the game wins, and usually becomes the new "It."

If "It" calls out a corner containing no players, she either calls out another number right away or the players rotate to a

new corner, according to different versions of gameplay.

Canada Day Pinwheel Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

I loved pinwheels when I was little... They seem to be one of those toys that have been around forever. There are two different templates to pick from.

You can use the templates I've provided or design your own using:

construction paper and stickers

fun foam, or

thin pieces of plastic (like one would use for overhead projectors)

Fun foam ones are nice and sturdy, but you'll need to use straight pins instead of push pins to make them.

https://plus.google.com/+LeanneGuenther?rel=author


Materials:

paper,

printer,

something to color with,

pencil with eraser at the end (unsharpened is best, I think)

push pin or straight pin

Optional: a small bead (like a pony bead)

Optional: red or white acrylic paint and paintbrush

Instructions:

Print out the template.

Color the template, if using the B&W option and cut it out.

Optional: Paint the pencil white or red using the acrylic paint because it dries quickly. You will need to give it a couple of coats to cover.

Fold on the dashed line to make a square decorated on both sides.

Note: At this point, you can put a piece of thin cardboard or construction paper between the two halves to make your pinwheel a bit sturdier.

glue the sides so you have a square decorated on both sides.

Cut on the diagonal dotted lines (don't cut all the way into the middle.

Bend each corner to the center dot, but don’t crease your folds.

Push a pin through the center into the eraser of a pencil (don't push it super tight).

Optional: put a bead in between the eraser and the paper ... some people find it spins a bit better this way... I've never noticed the difference (maybe it's the type of


pencil eraser? I use fresh, unsharpened school pencils).

blow the edge of your pinwheel to make it spin (if it doesn't spin, loosen your pin a little or wiggle it around to make the hole in the paper bigger).


Canadian Maple Leaf

May 21st is Victoria Day and the FreeKidsCraft team has designed this easy Canadian

Maple Leaf to help our neighbors celebrate.

Supplies

Instructions

Click on printables and print out Leaf pattern.

Cut out the outline before you glue the tissue paper.

Cut tissue paper into 2"squares. Crumple each piece into a tight ball. Dip into white glue

and place onto pattern. Start with the small sections first to make sure they keep their

definition. Continue crumpling and gluing down pieces until the entire pattern is filled


The Rocky Mountaineer runs on 3 different routes. Independent travellers can buy one-way or return tickets

in either direction between Vancouver & Banff, Calgary or Jasper.

First Passage to the West, Vancouver- Banff & Calgary:

Formerly and more accurately called the Kicking Horse

route after the mountain pass it takes through the

Rockies, this is perhaps the most scenic & certainly the

most historically-significant route to choose, as it travels

over t he famous Canadian Pacific Railway, Canada's first

trans-continental line opened in 1885. It's the original

'Rocky Mountaineer' route on which the company first

started in 1990, when the last regular passenger trains on

the line were discontinued. You'll pass Castle Mountain,

the pretty station at Lake Louise, the continental divide,

the much-photographed Stoney Creek bridge, the site of

the 1885 'Last Spike' and the wonderfully-scenic

Thompson & Fraser river canyons. You're likely to see

bald eagles, ospreys, and maybe even bears. It departs 3

times a week from mid-April to mid-October, and the

journey takes 2 full days with 1 overnight hotel stop

included in the fare. Kicking Horse route timetable &

fares How to buy tickets What's the train like? What's

the journey like?

Journey to the Clouds, Vancouver-Jasper: Formerly and

more accurately called the Yellowhead route after the

mountain pass taken through the Rockies, this route takes you over the second and later of the two

Canadian trans-continental railways, the Canadian Northern line opened in 1917, nationalised as

Canadian National in 1921. It's the same route as that taken by VIA Rail's Toronto-Jasper-Vancouver

'Canadian'. Between Vancouver & Kamloops, the Rocky Mountaineer Yellowhead & Kicking Horse

routes are the same (in fact, the two trains run coupled together). Also note that this route and the

Rainforest to Goldrush route share the section of line past Mount Robson and through the Yellowhead

Pass. So if you want to make a circular tour, the best combination is probably the Kicking Horse route

Vancouver-Banff, then by bus between Jasper and Banff via the Columbia Icefields, then the Rainforest

to Goldrush route from Jasper back to Vancouver. The Rocky Mountaineer Yellowhead trains run twice

a week from mid-April to mid-October, the journey takes 2 full days with 1 overnight hotel stop

included in the fare. Yellowhead route timetable & fares How to buy tickets What's the train

like? What's the journey like?

Rainforest to Goldrush route, Whistler-Quesnel-Jasper: Formerly marketed as the Fraser Discover

route, this route is all about getting off the beaten track into gold-rush and timber country, rather

than taking a famous trans-continental rail line. It takes you along the mighty Fraser River over the

Pacific Great Eastern Railway (PGE), started in 1885 and only fully completed in 1952 - no wonder it

was nicknamed the Prince George Eventually! The scenery is wonderful, especially the Fraser River

Pyramid Falls, seen from the

Yellowhead route between Jasper

& Kamloops
