A WOKE-UP-OUT-OF-BED-QUEASY-TUM-DIZZY-
HEAD-DAY
Charlie felt dizzy and queasy. His mother tucked
him up in bed just as his grandad arrived to look
after him.
‘G’day, Charlie’, said Grandad.
‘Hello, Grandad’, said Charlie.
‘Why did the chicken cross the road, Charlie?’ asked
Grandad.
‘To get to the other side’, said Charlie, grinning at
Grandad.
• Charlie and Grandad love jokes and riddles.
Students collect jokes and riddles from the
children’s pages in local newspapers, tell
them to their friends and pin to the jokes
corner of the class noticeboard.
‘Feeling peckish, Charlie?’ asked Grandad. Charlie
knew ‘peckish’ was one of Grandad’s old-fashioned
words. It meant ‘hungry’.
‘No thanks, Grandad,’ he said, ‘but I’m a bit thirsty’.
‘Righto’, said Grandad. He fetched a glass of water
and a large tray from the kitchen.
‘Here’s your sky juice, Charlie’, said Grandad. He
took a pack of cards from his pocket and placed
the tray exactly between Charlie and himself.
‘Let’s play ‘Snap’, said Charlie.
• Do you know how to play ‘Snap’? This is
how Charlie and Grandad play. Charlie
shuffles the cards and deals one to Grandad
and one to himself until all the cards are
dealt. Charlie turns one card from his cards
face up in the middle of the tray. Then
Grandad has his turn. He places one card
face up on top of Charlie’s card. They play
like this until there is a matching pair. Then
the first player to call ‘SNAP!’ takes all the
cards on the tray. The player who finishes
with the most cards is the winner.
• What is your favourite game? Explain to a
partner how you play it.
• Play the game ‘In Grandad’s Toolshed’.
‘In Grandad’s Toolshed there’s a hammer’,
says Grandad.
‘In Grandad’s Toolshed there’s a hammer
and a ladder’, says Charlie, adding a
SECOND object.
‘In Grandad’s Toolshed there’s a hammer,
a ladder and a tin of paint’, says Grandad,
adding a THIRD object.
‘In Grandad’s Toolshed there’s a hammer, a
ladder, a tin of paint and a saw’, says Charlie,
adding a FOURTH object. When Grandad or
Charlie reach the fourth object, they start the
game again.

‘Fancy some lunch, Charlie?’ asked Grandad. ‘How
about soldiers?’
‘Yes please, Grandad. I do feel a bit peckish now.’
‘You have a bit of shut-eye while I get your tucker
ready.’
In two ticks, Grandad returned with Charlie’s boiled
egg, a plate of toasted soldiers and a glass of sky
juice on a tray.
‘Tuck in, Charlie!’ said Grandad.
• What happens when you have a woke-upout-of-bed-queasy-tum-dizzy-head-day?
