40 YEARS ON AN ICE BERG Forty days on an iceberg, (flash ten fingers 4 times) over the ocean blue. (mimick waves with your hands) Nothing to wear but pajamas, (pull on PJ bottoms) nothing to do but slide. (mimick a slide with your hands) The air was cold and frosty, (shiver with arms crossed over your chest) the frost began to bite. (Gently pinch your arms) I had to hug a polar bear, to keep me warm at night! (Hug the person next to you) This song loses a line each time you sing it again, humming in the place of the line you remove. ALTERNATE VERSION You get progressively louder each time it’s sung, and hug more polar bears each time. This variation goes like this: Forty years on an iceberg, (flash hands 4 times) Bobbing along with the tide, (bob up and down) Nothing to wear but pajamas, (pull on pajamas) Nothing to do but slide, (stomp forward and swoosh down your leg)
The weather’s getting colder, (rub your arms) The frost beginning to bite, (swing your arm around and loudly clap your other hand) I think I better go out, (thumb point behind you) And hug ____ polar bears tonight. (hug that many polar bears) The song ends when you hug 0 polar bears.

So you know what to do (point at each other) in a little canoe (cross arms together and swing) When the moon is shining all around (make a circle with one hand) GET OUT AND SWIM!

BARGES Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in your
hold?
Do you fight with priates brave and
bold?
Out of my window looking in the
night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea,
As the barges go by silently.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in the
night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shining green and port is
shining red,
I can see the barges from my bed.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in the
night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Anchors start to pull and engines
start to roar,
As the barges pull away from shore.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in the
night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Stars are brightly lighting up the sky,
As the barges seem to skip right by.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in the
night
I can see the barges flickering light.
Taking their cargo out into the sea,
How I wish someday they'd take me.
Chorus
How my heart wants to sail away
with you,
As you sail across the ocean blue.
But I must stay beside my window
clear,
As the barges sail away from here.
Chorus

GOOD EVENING FRIEND
BROWNIE Everyone stands in a circle. Pairs should face each other around the circle, so half the girls are facing clockwise and half anti-clockwise. Any leftover Brownie starts in the middle of the circle. When people are passing on, she has to try to steal someone’s partner by being faster than them. Good evening friend Brownie (Salute and shake left hands) How are you this evening? Let’s dance in a circle (Link arms and circle each other) And bow and pass on. (Bow to your partner and move around the circle) The song can be sung as many times as necessary to get back to your original partner. Everyone should have danced with half the Brownies by the end of the process.

MEATBALLS On top of spaghetti All covered in cheese. I lost my poor meat ball, When somebody sneezed It rolled off the table, And onto the floor, And then my poor meatball, Rolled out of the door. It rolled down the garden, And under a bush. And then my poor meat ball, Was nothing but mush. And then in the springtime, My meatball tree grew, And then there were meatballs. For me and for you. If you have spaghetti, All covered in cheese, Hold onto your meatball, ‘Cos someone might sneeze.

ON MY HONOUR On my honour I will try There's a duty to be done, and I say "aye", There's a reason here, for a reason above My honour is to try, and my duty is to love People don't need to know my name If I hurt someone, then I'm to blame If I help someone, then I've helped me And that's the way that it should be I've tucked away a song or two If you're feeling low, there's one for you If you need a friend, then I will come There's plenty more where I come from Come with me where a fire burns bright You can see much better by its own light You can find more meaning in a campfire's glow Than you'll ever find in a year or so Friendship is the strangest thing If you keep it to yourself no reward will it bring But you gave it away, and you gave it to me And from now on great friends we'll be
We've got a promise to always keep We will sing "Day is Done" before we sleep We are Girl Guides together, and when we're gone We'll still be a-trying and a-singing this song... (repeat first verse)

the day I went to sea.

TAILS If everybody had a tail, and chose its shape and size, Would you prefer a tufted one to swat at passing flies, Or would you have a stumpy one to thump on wooden floors or perhaps a warm and fluffy one to curl around your paws? Chorus: Tails, tails, tails, you can swing them to and fro, You can wrap them round your middle, you can trail them in the snow, You can wave them when you're angry, you can wag them when you're glad, You can chase them round and round and round and round, until you drive the neighbours mad. And would you like it stripy, speckled, plain or maybe spotted? And would you wear it curly, straight or elegantly knotted,
And if it were prehensile, what enormous fun to be, The envy of your neighbours as you swing from tree to tree. Chorus If tails were made detachable how useful it would be, to wear your tail for parties or for going to the sea, Or if you're going out at night with safety first in mind, To wear a red fluorescent one to light you up behind. Chorus

Mountains – draw a triangle from the tip down with no bottom. Lakes – mimic waves with your hands. Come near… – with open arms, bring your hands in to cover your heart.
Come sing… – swing your arms back out to an open arm stance Our campfire… – no action.

THE OTHER DAY For this particular repeat-after-me song, each verse is sung twice. Once, with the group repeating after the leader, and a second time all together. The other day, I met a bear, A great big bear, A way out there. He looked at me. I looked at him. He sized up me. I sized up him.
He said to me, Why don’t you run? I see you ain’t, got any gun. And so I ran, away from there, but right behind, me was that bear. Ahead of me, there was a tree, a great big tree, oh glory me! The closest branch, was ten feet up, I’d have to jump, and trust my luck. And so I jumped, into the air, but I missed that branch, a way up there. But don’t you fret, and don’t you frown, ’cause I caught that branch, on the way back down. This is the end, there is no more, unless I meet, that bear once more. And so I met,
that bear once more. Now he’s a rug, on my bedroom floor!
