THING_A_MA_JIG



Divide the group into five smaller groups and assign each group one of the words listed below. Read the story. After each of the words is read pause for the group to make the appropriate response.

DOODADS "Clickity clack, Clickity clack"
DINGFORD "Whiz, bang, boom"
FREEDISTANT "Whoosh, whoosh"
HYGORICKY "Snap, crackle, pop"
SCATEREEKUS All sounds together


Very few families can get along without a thing-a-ma-jig. While they can be purchased already assembled in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colors, they are relatively easy to put together yourself. Just follow these EASY directions and you'll have yours put together in no time at all!

The DOODADS___ of the thing-a-ma-jig kit are enclosed in a plastic gizmo and stapled with the yellow assembly DINGFORD___ to a FREEDISTANT___. The assembly DINGFORD___ may be placed upon any corrugated doomaflatchy or us the FREEDISTANT___ to assemble your DOODADS___. Carefully remove the plastic gizmo of the DOODADS___ from the FREEDISTANT___ and lay out the DOODADS___ on a clean acka-marackus. Learn the name of each part of the DOODADS___ by comparing them with the assembly DINGFORD___ and assemble the DOODADS___ in the correct order.

You will also need a drill with a 3/16" gizflunky for the HYGORICKY___ and a pair of pliers. Using a watchafiggle, carefully punch 1/8" whatnots through the assembly DINGFORD___ and FREEDISTANT___ where each HYGORICKY___ goes. These whatnots are openings for the hoosis HYGORICKY___ used to fasten the DOODADS___ together.

Now hammer the fammis to the hootenany and under the HYGORICKY___, as shown on the DINGFORD___. If the order is reversed, the thing-a-ma-jig will not operate properly and SCATEREEKUS___ will result!
