Additional activities/information • Share <strong>the</strong> following story with <strong>the</strong> students to stimulate discussion about <strong>the</strong> rhyme. A WOKE-UP-OUT-OF-BED-QUEASY-TUM-DIZZY- HEAD-DAY Charlie felt dizzy and queasy. His mo<strong>the</strong>r 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 <strong>the</strong> chicken cross <strong>the</strong> road, Charlie?’ asked Grandad. ‘To get to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side’, said Charlie, grinning at Grandad. • Charlie and Grandad love jokes and riddles. Students collect jokes and riddles from <strong>the</strong> children’s pages in local newspapers, tell <strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong>ir friends and pin to <strong>the</strong> jokes corner of <strong>the</strong> 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 <strong>the</strong> kitchen. ‘Here’s your sky juice, Charlie’, said Grandad. He took a pack of cards from his pocket and placed <strong>the</strong> 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 <strong>the</strong> cards and deals one to Grandad and one to himself until all <strong>the</strong> cards are dealt. Charlie turns one card from his cards face up in <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong> tray. Then Grandad has his turn. He places one card face up on top of Charlie’s card. They play like this until <strong>the</strong>re is a matching pair. Then <strong>the</strong> first player to call ‘SNAP!’ takes all <strong>the</strong> cards on <strong>the</strong> tray. The player who finishes with <strong>the</strong> most cards is <strong>the</strong> winner. • What is your favourite game? Explain to a partner how you play it. • Play <strong>the</strong> game ‘In Grandad’s Toolshed’. ‘In Grandad’s Toolshed <strong>the</strong>re’s a hammer’, says Grandad. ‘In Grandad’s Toolshed <strong>the</strong>re’s a hammer and a ladder’, says Charlie, adding a SECOND object. ‘In Grandad’s Toolshed <strong>the</strong>re’s a hammer, a ladder and a tin of paint’, says Grandad, adding a THIRD object. ‘In Grandad’s Toolshed <strong>the</strong>re’s a hammer, a ladder, a tin of paint and a saw’, says Charlie, adding a FOURTH object. When Grandad or Charlie reach <strong>the</strong> fourth object, <strong>the</strong>y start <strong>the</strong> game again. ©R.I.C.

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?
