[THEME SONG BEGINS]


>>RACHEL: Good morning, it’s time for Chompers, your morning and night toothbrushing show!


Start brushing on the top of your mouth, and brush in circles around each tooth. 


>>KIDS: 3,2,1, brush!


[THEME SONG ENDS]


>>RACHEL: It’s Sports week! And today we’re DIVING in 


[SPLASH!]


>>RACHEL: with some I-Spys. I’ll describe something, and you have to guess what I see. Here’s your first one:


FORE! 


[WHOOSH]


>>RACHEL: Whoa! That was close! 


[CRASH]


>>RACHEL: I’m on a grassy course I see players using something called a club to hit a tiny white ball WAAAAAY down the field. 


What sport do I spy? Shout it out!


[MUSIC BEGINS]


>>GROUP: GOLF!


>>RACHEL: GOLF!


Switch to the other side of the top of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: -and brush the molars in the way back. 


The game of golf is thought to be over two THOUSAND years old. In golf, the players are called golfers.  They’re trying to get a tiny ball into a hole, hitting it with the “club.”


[FORE/SWING] 


>>RACHEL: Each time a golfer hits a ball it’s called a stroke, and golfers try to get the ball into the hole using as few STROKES as possible.


[MUSIC ENDS]


Switch to the bottom of your mouth, and make sure to brush the inside…


[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: -outside and chewing side of each tooth


Here’s your next I SPY: 


[DOINK, SWOOSH, DOINK]


>>RACHEL: Now I see a big NET. I also see two women, one on each side of the net, and they’re hitting a fuzzy yellow ball at each other with racquets!


[WACK!]


>>RACHEL: What sport do I Spy? Shout it out!


[MUSIC BEGINS]


>>GROUP: TENNIS!


>>RACHEL: Tennis is a sport that can be played with two people, or four people. A game of tennis is called a MATCH.


Switch to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: and give your tongue a brush too.


Two of Tennis’ biggest stars are sisters Venus and Serena Williams. The Williams sisters have played together as a team, but they’ve also played AGAINST each other. Venus and Serena have even competed together in the Olympics, the world’s biggest sports competition, and each have FOUR gold medals, the most ever gold medals won in tennis.
