The Ants Came Marching
(to the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home)
The ants came marching one by one, Hurrah, Hurrah,
The ants came marching one by one, Hurrah, Hurrah,
The ants came marching one by one,
The little one stopped to suck his thumb,
And they all went marching down...
to the ground... to get out... of the rain...
The ants came marching two by two, Hurrah, Hurrah...
The little one stopped to tie his shoe...
The ants came marching three by three, Hurrah, Hurrah...
The little one stopped to climb a tree...
The ants came marching four by four...
The little one stopped to shut the door...
The ants came marching five by five...
The little one stopped to take a dive...
The ants came marching six by six...
The little one stopped to pick up sticks…
Head and Shoulders (point to each
body part while you sing)
Head and shoulders knees and toes,
knees and toes
Head and shoulders knees and toes,
knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head and shoulders knees and toes,
knees and toes!
(repeat faster)
He's Got the Whole World
CHORUS
He's got the whole world, in his
hands,
He's got the whole wide world, in
his hands,
He's got the whole world, in his
hands,
He's got the whole world in his
hands!
He's got the little bitty baby,
in his hands, (3 times)
He's got you and me, brother,
in his hands, (3 times)
He's got you and me, sister,
in his hands, (3 times)
(Then add some of your own
verses!)
The ants came marching seven by seven
The little one stopped to wave at heaven...
The ants came marching eight by eight...
The little one stopped to make them late...
The ants came marching nine by nine...
The little one stopped to scratch his spine...
The ants came marching ten by ten...
The little one stopped to say THE END!
THINK! 1.The Pope has it but he does not use
it. Your father has it but your mother uses it.
Nuns do not need it. Arnold Schwarzenegger
has a big one, Michael J. Fox's is quite small.
What is it?
2. Decapitate me and all becomes equal. Then
truncate me and I become second. Cut me
front and back and I become two less than I
started. What am I?

TEAM STORY TELLING

Each member creates a line for a story
(e.g., “There once was a boy named
Hugh…”), then everyone adds a line
until you are all stumped (“who lived
in the town’s biggest zoo:… “he often
had nothing to do…” “so he decided
to make an igloo…” “with a polar
bear named Sue…”)
To make things rally interesting, go as
fast as possible, and take turns out of
order—pointing to someone new each
time.

“I’m Going on a Trip . . .”

This is a memory game in which
each person in turn tells what he’s
taking on a trip, going through the
alphabet. The first person thinks of
something that begins with the letter
A, the next person the letter B, etc.
Each person has to remember and
recite all the preceding things. For
example, “I’m going on a trip and
I’m taking an anvil.” “I’m going on
a trip and I’m taking an anvil and a
button.” “I’m going on a trip and
I’m taking an anvil, a button and my
cat.”

Bound for South Australia
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
South Australia round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia
Chorus
Heave away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
There ain't but one thing grieves my
mind
Heave away, haul away
To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia
Oh when I sailed across the sea
Heave away, haul away
My girl said she'd be true to me
We're bound for South Australia
I rung her all night I rung her all
day
Heave away, haul away
I rung her before we sailed away
We're bound for South Australia
And now I'm on some foreign strand
Heave away, haul away
With a bottle of whiskey in my hand
We're bound for South Australia
And as we wallop around Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You wish to God you'd never been
born
We're bound for South Australia
Click go the Shears
Out on the board the old shearer
stands
Grasping his shears in his long bony
hands
Fixed is his gaze on a bare-bellied
"joe"
Glory if he gets her, won't he make the ringer go
Chorus
Click go the shears boys, click, click, click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the blue-bellied
"joe"
In the middle of the floor in his cane-bottomed
chair
Is the boss of the board, with eyes everywhere
Notes well each fleece as it comes to the screen
Paying strict attention if it's taken off clean
The colonial-experience man he is there, of
course
With his shiny leggin's just got off his horse
Casting round his eye like a real connoisseur
Whistling the old tune "I'm the Perfect Lure"
The tar-boy is there awaiting in demand
With his blackened tar-pot and his tarry hand
Sees one old sheep with a cut upon its back
Here's what he's waiting for "Tar here Jack!"
Shearing is all over and we've all got our cheques
Roll up your swag for we're off on the tracks
The first pub we come to it's there we'll have a
spree
And everyone that comes along it's, "Come and
drink with me!"
Down by the bar the old shearer stands
Grasping his glass in his thin bony hands
Fixed is his gaze on a green-painted keg
Glory he'll get down on it ere he stirs a peg
There we leave him standing, shouting for all
hands
Whilst all around him every shouter stands
His eyes are on the cask which is now lowering
fast
He works hard he drinks hard and goes to hell at
last
You take off the belly-wool clean out the crutch
Go up the neck for the rules they are such
You clean round the horns first shoulder go down
One blow up the back and you then turn around
Click, click, that's how the shears go
Click, click, so awfully quick
You pull out a sheep he'll give a kick
And still hear your shears going click, click, click.
