Play School (1966)

Nonsense - Friday

TV-G
S248 • E5    25m
Children enjoy the absurdity and fun in nonsense rhymes and songs. This week we explore the fun in being silly and crazy. The week is full of mixed up and silly songs, mixed up animals, play and activities. To start the week we begin with a live concert full of songs and action. Then we move into our nonsense week. Each day we sing Upsy Down Town and visit the Upsy Down Town calendar. Here sheep reside in trees, birds drive cars, people walk on their heads, a tiger is found flying by and one day a cake is found growing in a garden. We have a visit from a talking corella and have fun dressing up in a mixed up way.
