Here is a super challenge for you and your kids your family is sure to get a few laughs.This is a contest to encourage America to reinvent the classic schoolyard chant, “Beans, beans the musical fruit.”
For years, children and parents have recited variations of this memorable chant, but what they don’t realize is that something in the lyrics is wrong - beans are a vegetable, not a fruit! While 3 out of 4 adults know the bean chant, only 1 in 4 know that beans are actually a vegetable. It’s time to set the record straight!
We’re inviting the public to grab a video camera and record an original bean chant. The requirements are:
· Begin your chant with the phrase “Beans, beans”
· Convey somewhere in your lyrics/chant that beans are a veggie or vegetable
People can visit Bean Chant until Dec. 12, 2008 to upload their videos for a chance to win the grand prize – $5,000 and a trip for four to perform the winning chant at a February event in Times Square hosted by Drew Lachey, multi-platinum recording artist, bean fan and dad.
Here is some inspiration
Beans, beans have protein to spare
Call them a fruit? I won’t even dare
They’re a veggie that makes you grow up big and strong
And with beans on the table, your meal can’t go wrong

shame it has to mention the word veggies since there is a common playground rhyme which goes, beans, beans, good for the heart, the more you eat the more you fart!
ReplyDeletelol my 15-month old son would have to agree...he eats beans in some form almost daily!
