The Three Little Pigs Has A Problem...

Description provided by Mr O : Board Games, Books & Educational Mischief on YouTube:

School teacher Mr O introduces the game and discusses the origins of the Three Little Pigs folk tale. He also looks at the skills children can learn playing this game and some key features that the folk tale exemplifies. Oh, and there's a song about the tale's dubious morality too: "Don't Boil Your Enemies Alive (And Eat Them)!"

Don't Boil Your Enemies Alive (And Eat Them) by Mr O Intro: C G Fill: G|----4-2-0-| Verse 1 C G It’s good to have resilience, That means to keep going when things are tough And it’s good to plan ahead, Like building your house from stronger stuff Am F And it’s good to work with siblings G D/F# When being alone just isn’t enough C F G C But don’t boil your enemies alive and eat them! Verse 2 It’s good to trust your instincts, And to name yourself after things you wear But if grandma now has big teeth and eyes Don’t stand around and comment, get out of there! And if you must walk in the woods And if you’ve started eating a house made out of sweets Don’t push old ladies into their ovens… that’s not kind. Verse 3 It’s good to take some risks, And climb when there are opportunities But don’t break and enter a giant’s house And don’t rob him of his gold or of his geese And while it’s good to choose carefully Don’t sleep in beds that don’t belong to you And generally stay away from bear’s… homes and food! 0:00 Introduction 0:36 The story 1:50 How to play 2:50 What we like 4:19 What we don't like 6:00 Folk tales 8:00 "Don't Boil Your Enemies Alive (And Eat Them)"
