Sisko decides enough is enough and leaves the bar to go to bed. Then, he proffers a bag of gems, which Quark accepts greedily.Īfter about six hours, the delegates are winning almost every spin and both Quark and Commander Sisko are getting tired (in Quark's case, he is tired of them always winning). Falow offers klon peags or alpha-currant nectar as items of value, but Quark refuses them. However, Quark has to make sure they have something to gamble with for dabo. In Quark's Bar, the Wadi delegates are eager to play a new game. Although Sisko is keen to make a good impression, he is put out to find that Falow and the other Wadi just want to head straight to Quark's in order to play games. The senior staff assemble in the airlock to greet the Wadi representative, Falow. Sisko decides they need to set aside some time the next day so he can work 'damage control'. Commander Sisko is in his dress uniform preparing to welcome the ship, although he gets worried when he learns that Jake has been learning about Bajoran girls from none other than his new friend Nog. This will keep them engaged and help everyone remember the words.It's an important day aboard Deep Space 9 as an official delegation on behalf of the Wadi are due to arrive from the Gamma Quadrant for first contact. Try a gesture for key words or phrases of the song: Examples: "I" (point to yourself), "can count" (hold up one finger at a time to the beat until your next gesture), "raise my hand" (raise your hand). We chose to raise both hands, palms open wide, and then to conduct the actual "1 2 3." Then we used a different hand gesture to indicate whether they were to shout the word "Sing!" or "Move!" or "Stop!" For this age group, any gesturing you can do helps them learn the song, be together, and have fun.
They anticipated the signal from us to start the counting, so there was more ready participation and fewer stragglers. We discovered that if we used an action with our hands to indicate to the kids, "Hey, get ready to count 1 2 3!," they were looking for it. Do you have a ceremony at the end of the year? Try this on your school stage or multi-purpose room at your school and take pictures! (We'd love to know how this works for you, so please share.)
If the Bounce-ah doesn't suit you, try to "move along" by walking or marching a pattern in your classroom.

As always, feel free to substitute verse elements to suit your classroom.
Counting, spelling their names, and raising their hands are but a few. The verses of this song list some things your students would have learned in class.
Try speaking a direction like, "Switch!" to indicate this reverse during the dance, or give it a name of its own. Keep the top of the body still and move only the bottom. Elbows can be bent or straight, and should join the shoulders and body with wiggling, twisting, and moving to the rhythm of the dance. As it is described at the bottom of page 56, the Bounce-ah requires non-moving feet and knees that bend to the beat. We introduce to you in this song a dance move that David and Anne tell us has been popular in their home: the Bounce-ah. It will also give singers opportunities to shout, sing, count, and affirm that school is fun! Perfect for any advancement ceremony for your youngest singers, such as graduation or commencement, this lively techno rock tune will get everyone in the room moving.
