Joey in the pouch
Equipment….. Blanket or Sheet
Joey Scouts run around the hall, on a given signal all lay face down on the floor, with eyes closed or hands over eyes. One Joey Scout is covered completely with a blanket, leader signals other Joey Scouts to jump up and guess who is missing.
Tail Tag
Equipment ......... tails (Crepe strips work just fine)
Divide Mob into two, one half have tails tucked into their clothes and the other half are without. On a signal the Joeys need to hop around the hall trying to either catch a tail or avoid their tail being caught. When a tail is successfully tagged the Joey pair goes to a leader and the roles are reversed.
Program Songs
Kangaroo Kangaroo
(Tune Pizza Hut or Ram, Sam, Sam)
A Kangaroo, A Kangaroo
A Frill Necked Lizard and a Kangaroo
A Cocky, A Cocky
A Frill Necked Lizard and a Kangaroo
Great Action song,
Hold paws up and jump like a kangaroo. Use hands to make a frill either side of neck for the lizard, make a cocky's crest with one hand and tail with the other.
Tie Me Kangaroo down Sport by Rolf Harris
This is only the first and second verse
Spoken Introduction: There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying. He gets himself up on one elbow, turns to his mates, who are gathered round, and he says:
Watch me wallaby's feed, mate, watch me wallaby's feed.
They're a dangerous breed, mate, so watch me wallaby's feed.
All together now!
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down.
Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,
Keep me cockatoo cool.
Don't go acting the fool, Curl,
Keep me cockatoo cool.
All together now! Chorus again
Wafting Wallabies:
Equipment: kangaroo/wallaby pictures cut from lightweight paper, cardboard flappers.
Divide Joey Scouts into 4 teams. Each team has 1x kangaroo cut out
(A different colour for each team), and a cardboard flapper for each Joey Scout. One team is positioned in each corner of the hall. On a signal the Joey Scouts need to fan their Kangaroo into the centre of the hall with their flapper.
