Campfire Planning Sheet

PROMOTE PARTICIPATION, FUN & FRIENDSHIP

“There are five food groups on the food pyramid

That I should choose from each day

Vegetables, grain, meat, dairy and fruit

Will help my body work and play

Each food group supplies needed nutrients

To help my body to grow/

The fats and oils used sparingly,

That’s something that I should know.

Vitamins and minerals are part of the plan

That keeps me healthy and strong.

I will choose each day to do all that

I can to help my body grow real strong.

Calories within my food becomes energy.

Energy my body will need,

To help me think, work and exercise.

They will help me to succeed.

Healthy body builders will choose carefully

A healthy balance each day.

Eating foods from each category

Will help me live a healthy way.”

Chapatti, Chapatti,

Puri and rice!

Burrito, taquito, spaghetti and spice!

Dim sum, egg foo yong.

Two all-beef patties,

Special sauce on a bun,

Hands held around the campfire,

Hands across the sea,

Sharing in this banquet of the earth!

I like to eat, eat, eat,
Apples and bananas
I like to eat, eat, eat,
Apples and bananas.

Now change the vowel sounds to A, E, I, O, and U in each verse:.

Ay lake tay ate, ate, ate,
ay-pulls aynd bay-nay-nays
Ay lake tay ate, ate, ate,
ay-pulls aynd bay-nay-nays.

On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese

I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed

It rolled off the table and onto the floor

And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door

It rolled into the garden and under a bush

And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush

The mush was as tasty as tasty could be

Then early next summer it grew into a tree

The tree was all covered with beautiful moss

It grew lovely meatballs with tomato sauce

So next time you eat s'getti all covered with cheese

Hang onto your meatball and don't ever sneeze!

If all of the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops,

Oh, what a world this would be!

I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide, goin'

Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah,

If all of the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops,

Oh, what a world this would be!

Young girl, get your butt off that chair

Are you eating, are you eating,

Healthy foods, healthy foods?

For your body needs them, for your body needs them

Every day, every day.

Cheese, cheese, cheese, we love cheese,

Please, please, please, give us cheese,

We like white cheese, oh yes we do,

Orange cheese tastes wonderful too,

Yellow cheese is for me and you,

Oh, give use cheese!  Please!

We need food and we need water

We need sleep, lots of sleep

To help our bodies grow

From our heads down to our toes

Grow, grow, grow

Grow, grow, grow

When I was young I stayed away from vegetables

They were meant for someone else, but not for me

Veggies couldn’t taste good, that’s the way it seemed

Whether they were stir fried, raw or steamed

But then I had a taste, now I’m a believer

Didn’t leave a trace of greens on my plate

I was wrong—ooh, I’m a believer

A veggie eater from now on

Oh, when I was a little kid I never liked to eat,
Mama'd put things on my plate, I'd dump them on her feet,
But then one day she made this soup, I ate it all in bed,
I asked her what she put in it, and this is what she said:

Chorus:

"Chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes.
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs.
Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toe-nail pies.
Stir them all together, it's Mama's Soup Surprise!"

There was a man lived in the moon,
lived in the moon, lived in the moon,
There was a man lived in the moon,
and his name was Aiken Drum.

Chorus:          

And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle,

And he played upon a ladle,

And his name was Aiken Drum.

And his hat was made of good cream cheese, 
of good cream cheese, of good cream cheese,
and his hat was made of good cream cheese, 
and his name was Aiken Drum.

And his coat was made of good roast beef,
of good roast beef, of good roast beef,
and his coat was made of good roast beef,
and his name was Aiken Drum.

And his buttons made of penny loaves,
of penny loaves, of penny loaves,
and his buttons made of penny loaves,
and his name was Aiken Drum.

And his breeches made of haggis bags,
haggis bags, haggis bags,
and his breeches made of haggis bags,
and his name was Aiken Drum.

Oh, it’s beans, beans,

That turn us into fiends

In the store, in the store

Oh, it’s beans, beans,

In the Quartermaster’s Store.

Chorus:

Mine eyes are dim I cannot see

I have not brought my specs with me

I have not brought my specs with me!

That hits you in the eye

In the store, in the store.

In the Quartermaster’s Store.

Oh, it’s meat, meat,

That isn’t fit to eat

In the store, in the store.

Oh, it’s meat, meat,

In the Quartermaster’s Store.

Oh, it’s peas, peas,

That make you want to sneeze

In the store, in the store.

Oh, it’s peas, peas,

That make you want to sneeze

In the Quartermaster’s Store.

Oh, it’s stew, stew,

That turns you black and blue

In the store, in the store.

Oh, its stew, stew,

In the Quartermaster’s Store.

Oh, it’s bread, bread,

Sits in your gut like lead

In the store, in the store.

In the Quartermaster’s Store.

Oh, it’s pears, pears,

That gives you curly hairs

In the store, in the store.

In the Quartermaster’s Store.

Chorus:       

Inch by inch, row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

All it takes is a rake and a hoe

And a piece of fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row

Someone bless these seeds I sow

Someone warm them from below

'Til the rain comes tumbling down    

Pulling weeds and pickin' stones
Man is made from dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own
'Cause the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
To my body and my brain
To the music from the land

Plant your rows straight and long
Thicker than with pray'r and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
Old crow watchin' hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there

For food in a world where many walk in hunger; 
For faith in a world where many walk in fear. 
For friends in a world where many walk alone, 
We give you humble thanks, O Lord.
