Messages - Sound or Silent Play School : Season 15 Episode 35

aka ep163.5 Noni and John play with phones: a toy wooden one and an old publicpay phone they make a booth for it. They sing 'Ring Ring' with jokes. John finds out how to make a tin can phone with tins and fishing line. He uses it to talk to Noni. Noni makes tin can shakers, filling tins with rice, pebble and bottle tops. Then she makes 'bells' using tins and nails. John makes a big tin into a drum and they play together. 'Alexander's Ragtime Band' song is performed. The story is a dramatisation of a boy who loses his voice. The song 'Everybody Do This' is sung with clapping and stamping. John and Noni sing 'I Like Peace, I Like Quiet'. Noni uses a recorder to blow long and short notes and John responds with long and short steps. Through the windows Benita is at the zoo listening to noises made by various animals. John mimes a quacking, waddling duck and sings 'I'm a Quacker'. Noni joins in, waddling and quacking. They share some more 'Ring Ring' type jokes. Goodbyes.
