To bed.
Tonight the power is out and the volunteer house is quiet. My back is on fire as I forgot how you can still get a burn when it's overcast (yes mom, I KNOW I should know better.... But I wasn't going to be out long and and.....). Well i was washing my clothes by hand crouched over a bucket and a tap wearing a tank top. I can only feel the burn, I haven't really seen it as it's dark.
Tonight was day two for me teaching computer class to some of the older kids. I'm teaching them Excel. I love excel, but I'm no teacher. All in all it went ok, and I'm really enjoying it. The kids are not from the house I normally in so it gives me a chance to meet more of the kids.
On the weekend a couple of the girls were asking me to teach them games songs or dances from Canada. It's been a few years since I was a kid and I'm totally drawing a blank. So i guess i'm asking for a little help? If you can think of something from your childhood that you think my girls would enjoy.... The simpler the better. Send me an email. The only thing I can think of is the chicken dance and I can't even really remember the moves, and that is pretty lame. I need to redeem myself before I become the MOST boring volunteer ever.
Oh man. What about:
ReplyDeleteRing around the rosie, duck duck duck goose, capture the flag (maybe for some of the older kids), red rover?
As far as songs go - what about Teddy Bear's Picnic, Henry the 8th, hokey pokey?
musical chairs/pillows??? my daughter suggests the chicken dance lol but i see you've already attempted that one! if we think of anything else i'll post it for you :P
ReplyDeletego go go STOP!
ReplyDeleteOld Macdonald? BINGO (there was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name-o) (not the bingo game with balls) The farmer in the Dell? I'm a little teapot? Itsy-bitsy spider?
ReplyDeleteI'll keep thinking
