Yummy Yummy — The Wiggles

Let the titles set the table

ABC Music’s label description includes “Fruit Salad,” “Hot Potato,” “Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes” and several titles also preserved below. The original Toysit list adds a fuller sequence of songs and interludes, so it can be read as a little program: food, motion, characters and a final yawn.

A listener can choose a favorite food title and draw an imaginary dish for it. Someone else might make a place card for a dinosaur or a dog. Keep the pretend meal on paper, where a plate can hold purple clouds or a tower of tiny moons.

Make a pretend picnic dance menu

Draw three dishes on a paper menu and give each a seated hand gesture. A cloud sandwich might have hands floating apart; a moonberry pie could have a little circle drawn in the air. Choose movements that feel comfortable to the person doing them.

One player becomes the picnic server and announces an order. Another answers with that dish’s gesture, then invents a new item for the menu. Optional music can provide a beginning and a pause between orders; spoken announcements work on their own too.

Invite an imaginary guest with an unusual request. What would a very small dinosaur order? What might a sailor bring from a paper boat? Let the guest choose two gestures in sequence and give the combination its own name.

Save the menu for another gathering

Fold the finished menu and draw a sign on its front. Next time, change the server, welcome a different guest or replace one dish. The same small collection of pictures can support a new picnic each time it opens.
