7th Oakham Rainbows
(All Saints)
7th Oakham
Rainbows' meetings are on Tuesdays in Oakham. The Rainbows enjoy
playing games and singing songs with leaders Hannah, Janis and Lucy.
What
we've been up to In
2002 the Rainbows took part in the Leicestershire Winter Challenge and
took part in lots of art and craft activities. They
also raised money for UNICEF during the group's Pumpkin Week activities
by doing a sponsored silence together with apple bobbing and making
apples covered in chocolate and hundreds and thousands. For
Christmas the Rainbows held an Ice Queen Party with lots of silver
crowns and decorations and on 8th December they took a trip to Rutland
Railway Museum to meet Santa.
What we
have to look forward to In
January we are going to the RATS Pantomime.
Our
Favourite Games
I Sent a Letter
to my Friend
Rainbows sit in a circle and one Rainbow walks round the
outside with a beanbag and they sing "I sent a letter to my
friend and on the way I dropped it, one of you have picked it up and
put it in your pocket" - the rainbow then keeps walking around
and drops the beanbag behind one of the Rainbows sitting down and she
then has to pick up the beanbag and chase the first Rainbow around the
circle until they are back to the beginning and then you start again. Chase
a Rainbow
Each Rainbow is given a colour (Red, Green, Blue and Yellow) and they
sit in a circle. The leader shouts out a colour and all the
Rainbows who are that colour run round the circle clockwise and try to
get back to their places. The last back is out of the
game. This continues until all the Rainbows are out - if there
are only a few Rainbows left the leader can shout two colours at once
or 'Chase a Rainbow' to let all the Rainbows run round.
Our Favourite Songs
Bumble Bee (Pretend
to hold a bee)
I'm bringing home my baby bumble bee
Won't my mummy be so very of me
I'm bringing home my baby bumble bee
OUCH it stung me! (Pretend
to squash the bee)
I'm squashing up my baby bumble bee
Won't my mummy be so very of me
I'm squashing up my baby bumble bee
ARGH what a mess! (Pretend
to lick your hands)
I'm licking up my baby bumble bee
Won't my mummy be so very of me
I'm licking up my baby bumble bee
ARGH I feel sick! (Pretend
to be sick)
I'm bringing up my baby bumble bee
Won't my mummy be so very of me
I'm bringing up my baby bumble bee
YUCK what a mess! (Pretend
to sweep up)
I'm sweeping up my baby bumble bee
Won't my mummy be so very of me
I'm sweeping up my baby bumble bee
Just like a Rainbow should GOOD! (thumbs up)
At the end of our
meetings we sing...
Goodbye Rainbows,
Goodbye Rainbows
See you soon, see you soon
Hope the weathers nice, hope the weathers nice
Do take care, do take care.
