Romper Room
Who remembers the play group on television say back in the late sixties? There was a show called 'Romper Room' and the 'teacher' that I had at that time was Miss Sally. There was a big bee that liked to help the kids in the 'classroom' as well. There was a round table where the teacher and children would sit and make a craft after Miss Sally would show them how. She would also read a picture book to them and us at home. There were even movement games like walking on if I remember right were called Romper Stompers where the child would place their feet on plastic upside cups attached to ropes and pull up so they will walk or march wherever. Miss Sally had a magic mirror of sorts where she would 'see' all the children at home and sing a song. There is a little song she sang and the only words I remember is something like 'romper stomper boo'.
