Science + music = fun!
Tonight we attended Teddy’s second grade concert at his school. The musical the kids presented was named “Bones.” Some of the kids had white capes with pictures of the different bones in the body, and the other kids were in the chorus. One of the second graders narrated the story line, complete with lots of bone puns, and punctuated with songs about bones. The puns? Try these:
The ankle speaks to the foot and leg bones and asks, “May I join you?”
The leg joint speaks to the leg bone and the thigh bone and tells them, “You knee-d me.”
The pelvis tells us he’s pretty hip.
Someone tells the weak and bent backbone he needs to grow a spine.
Songs in the program included Shake, Rattle Them Bones; I’m a Broken Bone; and the ever-popular Them Bones, plus a few others. It was a very enjoyable program and we’re so glad we could be there.
