00:52.000 --> 01:15.000
We're going to take a look at what we're going to do next week.

01:15.000 --> 01:21.000
Kindergarten, produced by WHA Television for the Wisconsin School of the Air.

01:21.000 --> 01:26.000
We're going to take your hands and move more.

01:51.000 --> 02:20.000
We're going to take your hands and move more.

02:20.000 --> 02:49.000
We're going to take your hands and move more.

02:49.000 --> 02:57.000
What are these puppets doing?

02:57.000 --> 02:59.000
They are using gestures.

02:59.000 --> 03:03.000
Movements or actions would tell us something.

03:03.000 --> 03:11.000
You'll watch Taffy and see if you can understand what these actions mean, but she's trying to tell you.

03:11.000 --> 03:13.000
Can you guess what that action means?

03:13.000 --> 03:16.000
It means come here, that's right.

03:16.000 --> 03:20.000
What about this gesture?

03:20.000 --> 03:23.000
It means I don't want to listen.

03:23.000 --> 03:27.000
What does this gesture mean?

03:27.000 --> 03:29.000
Do you think it means hello?

03:29.000 --> 03:31.000
Or maybe it could mean goodbye.

03:31.000 --> 03:35.000
That's one gesture that has more than one meaning.

03:35.000 --> 03:37.000
Now let's see if you can use some gestures.

03:37.000 --> 03:43.000
What gesture would you use to say I don't want to look at it?

03:43.000 --> 03:45.000
Is that what you do? Put your hands over your eyes?

03:45.000 --> 03:47.000
Yes, probably.

03:47.000 --> 03:50.000
And what kind of a gesture would you use to say goodbye?

03:50.000 --> 03:52.000
Might you do that?

03:52.000 --> 03:53.000
Yes.

03:53.000 --> 03:56.000
And what about if you wanted someone to be very quiet?

03:56.000 --> 04:00.000
What kind of a gesture would you use?

04:00.000 --> 04:03.000
That means be quiet, doesn't it?

04:03.000 --> 04:08.000
And what gesture would you use if you were very sick to your stomach, if you had a stomachache?

04:08.000 --> 04:10.000
Might you hold your stomach like Taffy's doing?

04:10.000 --> 04:12.000
I think so.

04:12.000 --> 04:18.000
Have you ever seen people use a gesture like this and they shake their fist?

04:18.000 --> 04:21.000
That usually means they're angry, doesn't it?

04:21.000 --> 04:25.000
And what about when people scratch their hands and they're kind of puzzled?

04:25.000 --> 04:29.000
Seems they're trying to remember, try to think of something with me.

04:29.000 --> 04:31.000
Do you think gestures are important?

04:31.000 --> 04:34.000
Yes, they are. We do a lot of talking with them.

04:34.000 --> 04:37.000
How would you like to learn a gesture song?

04:37.000 --> 04:39.000
First time, I'll just sing it for you.

04:39.000 --> 04:42.000
In other words, then I'll ask you to sing it with me.

04:42.000 --> 04:43.000
Yes.

04:43.000 --> 04:44.000
No.

04:44.000 --> 04:45.000
Maybe.

04:45.000 --> 04:46.000
No.

04:46.000 --> 04:47.000
Yes.

04:47.000 --> 04:48.000
I'm up.

04:48.000 --> 04:49.000
Come here.

04:49.000 --> 04:50.000
Say there.

04:50.000 --> 04:51.000
Sit down.

04:51.000 --> 04:52.000
Get up.

04:52.000 --> 04:53.000
What will I do?

04:53.000 --> 04:54.000
I don't know.

04:54.000 --> 04:55.000
Do you?

04:55.000 --> 04:56.000
All right.

04:56.000 --> 05:08.000
This time, I'll sing just a part of it and ask you to repeat it after you listen to this first part.

05:08.000 --> 05:09.000
Yes.

05:09.000 --> 05:10.000
No.

05:10.000 --> 05:11.000
Maybe.

05:11.000 --> 05:12.000
No.

05:12.000 --> 05:13.000
Yes.

05:13.000 --> 05:14.000
I'm up.

05:14.000 --> 05:16.000
Do you sing that with me?

05:16.000 --> 05:17.000
Yes.

05:17.000 --> 05:18.000
No.

05:18.000 --> 05:19.000
Maybe.

05:19.000 --> 05:20.000
No.

05:20.000 --> 05:21.000
Yes.

05:21.000 --> 05:22.000
I'm up.

05:22.000 --> 05:23.000
Now listen to this next part.

05:23.000 --> 05:24.000
Come here.

05:24.000 --> 05:25.000
Say there.

05:25.000 --> 05:26.000
Sit down.

05:26.000 --> 05:27.000
Get up.

05:27.000 --> 05:28.000
All right.

05:28.000 --> 05:29.000
You sing that.

05:29.000 --> 05:30.000
Come here.

05:30.000 --> 05:31.000
Say there.

05:31.000 --> 05:32.000
Sit down.

05:32.000 --> 05:33.000
Get up.

05:33.000 --> 05:34.000
All right.

05:34.000 --> 05:35.000
You sing that.

05:35.000 --> 05:36.000
Come here.

05:36.000 --> 05:37.000
Say there.

05:37.000 --> 05:38.000
Sit down.

05:38.000 --> 05:39.000
Get up.

05:39.000 --> 05:40.000
Good.

05:40.000 --> 05:41.000
The last part.

05:41.000 --> 05:42.000
Listen to this.

05:42.000 --> 05:44.000
What will I do?

05:44.000 --> 05:45.000
I don't know.

05:45.000 --> 05:46.000
Do you?

05:46.000 --> 05:47.000
Do you?

05:47.000 --> 05:48.000
Do you?

05:48.000 --> 05:49.000
You sing that.

05:49.000 --> 05:51.000
What will I do?

05:51.000 --> 05:53.000
I don't know.

05:53.000 --> 05:54.000
Do you?

05:54.000 --> 05:55.000
All right.

05:55.000 --> 05:59.000
This time, let's sing it and add some gestures to it.

05:59.000 --> 06:00.000
Are you ready?

06:00.000 --> 06:01.000
Yes.

06:01.000 --> 06:02.000
No.

06:02.000 --> 06:03.000
Maybe.

06:03.000 --> 06:04.000
Maybe.

06:04.000 --> 06:05.000
No.

06:05.000 --> 06:06.000
Yes.

06:06.000 --> 06:07.000
I'm up.

06:07.000 --> 06:08.000
Come here.

06:08.000 --> 06:09.000
Say there.

06:09.000 --> 06:10.000
Sit down.

06:10.000 --> 06:11.000
Get up.

06:11.000 --> 06:12.000
What will I do?

06:12.000 --> 06:13.000
I don't know.

06:13.000 --> 06:14.000
Do you?

06:14.000 --> 06:15.000
Good.

06:15.000 --> 06:18.000
This time, I'm going to just sing it and not do the gestures.

06:18.000 --> 06:19.000
You do the gestures.

06:19.000 --> 06:20.000
Are you ready?

06:20.000 --> 06:21.000
Yes.

06:21.000 --> 06:22.000
No.

06:22.000 --> 06:23.000
Maybe.

06:23.000 --> 06:24.000
Sit down.

06:24.000 --> 06:25.000
Get up.

06:25.000 --> 06:26.000
What will I do?

06:26.000 --> 06:27.000
I don't know.

06:27.000 --> 06:28.000
Do you?

06:28.000 --> 06:29.000
Good.

06:29.000 --> 06:32.000
This time, I'm going to just sing it and not do the gestures.

06:33.000 --> 06:34.000
No.

06:34.000 --> 06:35.000
Yes.

06:35.000 --> 06:36.000
I'm up.

06:36.000 --> 06:37.000
Come here.

06:37.000 --> 06:38.000
Say there.

06:38.000 --> 06:39.000
Sit down.

06:39.000 --> 06:40.000
Get up.

06:40.000 --> 06:41.000
What will I do?

06:41.000 --> 06:42.000
I don't know.

06:42.000 --> 06:43.000
Do you?

06:43.000 --> 06:55.000
Now, this last time, I'm going to have you sing it and I'm going to do the gestures.

06:55.000 --> 06:56.000
Ready?

06:56.000 --> 06:57.000
Sing.

06:57.000 --> 07:22.000
Do you know what kind of a gesture that is?

07:22.000 --> 07:24.000
That's a gesture of surprise.

07:24.000 --> 07:28.000
And it means that I almost forgot something very important.

07:28.000 --> 07:35.000
Today is the day that we're celebrating the birthdays of all the children who have had birthdays this month of February.

07:35.000 --> 07:42.000
So all of you children who have had birthdays this month come and sit very close in front of the television set.

07:42.000 --> 07:44.000
Come up very quietly.

07:44.000 --> 07:47.000
Remember, this is a very important occasion.

07:47.000 --> 07:50.000
And only the children with birthdays this month.

07:50.000 --> 08:03.000
But before I like your birthday cake and before we sing your song, let's look at our February calendar line and see what else we're celebrating this month.

08:03.000 --> 08:05.000
Someone has a birthday on February 3rd.

08:05.000 --> 08:10.000
I wonder if it's one of you boys who are sitting up very close in front.

08:10.000 --> 08:11.000
And here's another one.

08:11.000 --> 08:13.000
Cake on February 10th.

08:13.000 --> 08:18.000
I think that belongs to one of you girls who are sitting up in front.

08:18.000 --> 08:22.000
On February 12th, we celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday.

08:22.000 --> 08:24.000
You know who he is, don't you?

08:24.000 --> 08:26.000
One of our presidents.

08:26.000 --> 08:30.000
And everyone knows what we celebrate on February 14th.

08:30.000 --> 08:34.000
Valentine's Day, that's right.

08:34.000 --> 08:36.000
February 21st, we celebrated.

08:36.000 --> 08:39.000
You think it could be one of your teachers' birthdays?

08:39.000 --> 08:40.000
Perhaps.

08:40.000 --> 08:45.000
And on February 22nd, we celebrate George Washington's birthday.

08:45.000 --> 08:46.000
That's right.

08:46.000 --> 08:48.000
We celebrate our first president.

08:48.000 --> 08:52.000
And did you notice there was another cake here on February 18th?

08:52.000 --> 08:56.000
This is a cake of someone that my mother thinks is very important.

08:56.000 --> 09:05.000
It says on it, Mrs. Mark, yes, February I celebrate my birthday too, so this month I get to help blow off the candles.

09:05.000 --> 09:11.000
Oh, Charlie, what are you doing with your hands in the frosting?

09:11.000 --> 09:13.000
Shame on you.

09:14.000 --> 09:23.000
Now, while I like the candles, we will sing your birthday song, and then we'll ask you to stand up.

09:23.000 --> 09:30.000
All the children with birthdays this month, and I'll ask you to blow out the candles.

09:34.000 --> 09:37.000
Are you all ready, all of you birthday children?

09:37.000 --> 09:39.000
Sing it up in front.

09:39.000 --> 09:40.000
All right.

09:41.000 --> 09:42.000
Who has a birthday?

09:42.000 --> 09:43.000
Who has a birthday?

09:43.000 --> 09:46.000
Who is a lucky, he or she?

09:46.000 --> 09:50.000
Who is it who can it be?

09:50.000 --> 09:54.000
Stand up and let us see.

09:54.000 --> 09:58.000
All right, birthday boys and birthday girls, blow out your cake.

10:07.000 --> 10:12.000
And you know, when we have a birthday cake, this usually means that we have a birthday guest.

10:12.000 --> 10:16.000
And we better not let any more time go by before we sing our birthday.

10:16.000 --> 10:20.000
Our guest song, our guest will be here before we're ready.

10:20.000 --> 10:21.000
Are you ready?

10:21.000 --> 10:28.000
Arrange your clothing, smooth your hair, sit tall and straight on the floor or chair.

10:28.000 --> 10:32.000
We have a visitor to a claim.

10:32.000 --> 10:34.000
How do you do?

10:34.000 --> 10:37.000
We're very glad you came.

10:37.000 --> 10:41.000
We're very glad you came.

10:41.000 --> 10:45.000
Today our visitor is a dancer, and here she is.

12:04.000 --> 12:06.000
We're very glad you came.

12:06.000 --> 12:08.000
We're very glad you came.

12:08.000 --> 12:10.000
We're very glad you came.

12:10.000 --> 12:12.000
We're very glad you came.

12:12.000 --> 12:14.000
We're very glad you came.

12:14.000 --> 12:15.000
We're very glad you came.

12:15.000 --> 12:17.000
We're very glad you came.

12:17.000 --> 12:18.000
We're very glad you came.

12:18.000 --> 12:19.000
We're very glad you came.

12:19.000 --> 12:20.000
We're very glad you came.

12:20.000 --> 12:21.000
We're very glad you came.

12:21.000 --> 12:22.000
We're very glad you came.

12:22.000 --> 12:23.000
We're very glad you came.

12:23.000 --> 12:24.000
We're very glad you came.

12:24.000 --> 12:25.000
We're very glad you came.

12:25.000 --> 12:26.000
We're very glad you came.

12:26.000 --> 12:27.000
We're very glad you came.

12:27.000 --> 12:28.000
We're very glad you came.

12:28.000 --> 12:29.000
We're very glad you came.

12:29.000 --> 12:30.000
We're very glad you came.

12:30.000 --> 12:31.000
We're very glad you came.

12:31.000 --> 12:33.000
We're very glad you came.

12:33.000 --> 12:34.000
We're very glad you came.

12:34.000 --> 12:35.000
We're very glad you came.

12:35.000 --> 12:36.000
We're very glad you came.

12:36.000 --> 12:37.000
We're very glad you came.

12:37.000 --> 12:56.900
We'reenden-

12:56.900 --> 12:59.900
What a dinner!

12:59.900 --> 13:00.900
F Lucky!

13:00.900 --> 13:03.100
Lightful Dance, Jan.

13:03.100 --> 13:07.180
Children, this is Jan Strader, a dancer from the university.

13:07.180 --> 13:08.940
Jan, we've been talking about gestures,

13:08.940 --> 13:10.860
and we learned a gesture song.

13:10.860 --> 13:14.020
I wonder if we sang it to you if you could add movement to it

13:14.020 --> 13:16.220
and make a gesture dance.

13:16.220 --> 13:17.780
Should we sing it for our children?

13:17.780 --> 13:18.940
All right.

13:18.940 --> 13:20.180
Yes.

13:20.180 --> 13:21.420
No.

13:21.420 --> 13:23.860
Maybe.

13:23.860 --> 13:25.020
No.

13:25.020 --> 13:26.180
Yes.

13:26.180 --> 13:28.180
I'm up.

13:28.340 --> 13:33.380
Up here, stay there, sit down, get up.

13:33.380 --> 13:35.540
What will I do?

13:35.540 --> 13:37.300
I don't know.

13:37.300 --> 13:39.220
Do you?

13:39.220 --> 13:40.780
Now, do you think you could add movement to that

13:40.780 --> 13:41.740
and make a dance?

13:41.740 --> 13:43.100
All right.

13:43.100 --> 13:45.620
We'll sing it for you again.

13:45.620 --> 13:47.100
Yes.

13:47.100 --> 13:48.580
No.

13:48.580 --> 13:51.340
Maybe.

13:51.340 --> 13:52.700
No.

13:52.700 --> 13:54.180
Yes.

13:54.260 --> 14:02.420
I'm up here, come here, stay there, sit down, get up.

14:02.420 --> 14:04.900
What will I do?

14:04.900 --> 14:05.900
I don't know.

14:10.460 --> 14:14.340
Do you see she added movement to our gesture song and had a dance,

14:14.340 --> 14:14.860
didn't she?

14:14.860 --> 14:16.820
Were you able to understand her dance?

14:16.820 --> 14:18.660
Were you able to understand the gestures?

14:18.660 --> 14:19.540
Good.

14:19.540 --> 14:22.540
Now, you watch her and see if you can understand what

14:22.540 --> 14:24.020
she's trying to tell you now.

14:37.260 --> 14:39.180
She was pulling something, wasn't she?

14:39.180 --> 14:40.540
A wagon, perhaps?

14:40.540 --> 14:41.980
And was it heavy?

14:41.980 --> 14:43.020
Yes, I can so.

14:43.020 --> 14:45.380
Do you think the music helped tell her?

14:45.380 --> 14:46.820
Probably it did.

14:46.820 --> 14:49.940
Now, I'm going to ask you to push these heavy wagons

14:49.940 --> 14:51.460
across the floor.

14:51.460 --> 14:53.540
But first of all, you've listened to the music

14:53.540 --> 14:57.340
and I think that'll tell you, it'll help you.

14:57.340 --> 15:05.780
All right, are you all ready?

15:05.780 --> 15:09.940
Stand up and push those heavy wagons across the floor.

15:09.940 --> 15:10.940
Push.

15:21.700 --> 15:23.700
Oh, do you have them over there with it along?

15:23.700 --> 15:25.300
Why are they so heavy?

15:25.300 --> 15:29.820
Are they filled with blocks or rocks or stones or what?

15:29.820 --> 15:31.940
Whatever they are, I think we should unload them.

15:31.940 --> 15:34.940
But now, don't unload them by just tipping over the wagon

15:34.940 --> 15:36.380
and dumping everything over the floor.

15:36.380 --> 15:37.900
You might break something.

15:37.900 --> 15:40.220
We'll take them out one thing at a time.

15:40.220 --> 15:42.220
But before you start, you listen to the music

15:42.220 --> 15:42.940
and it'll help you.

15:51.460 --> 15:59.380
All right, are you ready to unload your wagons?

15:59.380 --> 16:01.340
Everyone began to unload yours.

16:01.340 --> 16:03.140
One thing at a time, no remember.

16:21.460 --> 16:36.820
Oh, finally, do you have them unloaded?

16:36.820 --> 16:37.380
Good.

16:37.380 --> 16:39.780
Now let's pick our wagons back where they belong.

16:39.780 --> 16:41.980
Do you think they're going to be as heavy as they were before?

16:41.980 --> 16:44.340
You listen to the music, I think it'll tell you.

16:44.340 --> 16:50.340
Take your wagons back and everyone sit down.

16:51.340 --> 16:54.580
Jan, would you like to have me help you pull your wagon back?

16:54.580 --> 16:55.580
All right, I'll take the handle.

17:16.340 --> 17:18.340
Did you know you were dancing?

17:18.340 --> 17:19.340
Yes, you were.

17:19.340 --> 17:20.340
Yes, you were.

17:20.340 --> 17:23.340
That's the kind of dancing that nearly anyone can do in any way

17:23.340 --> 17:24.340
they want.

17:24.340 --> 17:27.340
I think a good name for it is imaginative dance.

17:27.340 --> 17:29.340
You used your imaginations, didn't you?

17:29.340 --> 17:31.340
And you used movement.

17:31.340 --> 17:33.340
And do you know that this is a kind of dance

17:33.340 --> 17:36.340
that anyone can do any way they'd like to?

17:36.340 --> 17:39.340
You can dance by yourself or if you'd like,

17:39.340 --> 17:41.340
you can dance with a friend.

17:41.340 --> 17:43.340
Or you can dance to tell a story or you can just dance

17:43.340 --> 17:46.340
because you want to move this way and that way.

17:46.340 --> 17:50.340
Or you can dance with music or without music.

17:50.340 --> 17:54.340
Or you could even dance indoors or outdoors.

17:54.340 --> 17:57.340
I'm going to pantomime something that I do.

17:57.340 --> 18:00.340
I want you to see if you can guess what it is you watch me.

18:00.340 --> 18:03.340
I will tell you this much, it's something that I do

18:03.340 --> 18:06.340
after the children have gone home from school.

18:06.340 --> 18:09.340
You watch me and see if you can guess what it is.

18:16.340 --> 18:20.340
Music

18:20.340 --> 18:24.340

18:24.340 --> 18:28.340

18:28.340 --> 18:32.340

18:32.340 --> 18:36.340

18:52.340 --> 18:56.340
Music

18:56.340 --> 18:58.340
Good, you guess what I was doing?

18:58.340 --> 19:01.340
Well, let me tell you. First of all, I erased the blackboard

19:01.340 --> 19:03.340
and then I got some of the children's paper

19:03.340 --> 19:06.340
and I made them all in order and put them on my desk.

19:06.340 --> 19:11.340
And then I was pouring pictures of Jews getting ready for the afternoon children.

19:11.340 --> 19:15.340
Why don't you pantomime what you do on the way home from school

19:15.340 --> 19:18.340
and see if your teacher can guess what it is?

19:18.340 --> 19:20.340
After the broadcast, why don't you do that?

19:20.340 --> 19:22.340
Will you all be doing the same things on the way home?

19:22.340 --> 19:23.340
No, you won't.

19:23.340 --> 19:27.340
And perhaps your teacher would like to pantomime for you what she does.

19:27.340 --> 19:30.340
She perhaps doesn't do the same things I do.

19:30.340 --> 19:32.340
Movements are interesting, aren't they?

19:32.340 --> 19:38.340
The puppets did movements and the dancer did and you did and I did.

19:38.340 --> 19:42.340
And you found out that you could dance just as the dancer did, didn't you?

19:42.340 --> 19:44.340
Were you surprised?

19:44.340 --> 19:50.340
Music

19:50.340 --> 19:56.340
Of course, you can dance just like anyone else can.

19:56.340 --> 19:59.340
You wave at him if you think he can dance as well as you do.

19:59.340 --> 20:00.340
Goodbye.

20:00.340 --> 20:16.340
