Sports Day Chants
Today we had a “House Sports” meeting to gather entries for the upcoming Athletics Carnival. At the end of the meeting, we gave the kids a chance to practise some of their chants.
Anyway, thought it would be good if I could start collecting some of these.
Here’s the first one:
Wherever we go, (Wherever we go),
People want to know, (People want to know),
Who we are, (Who we are),
So we tell them, (So we tell them),
We are house name, (We are house name),
Mighty, Might house name, (Mighty, mighty house name)
Repeat two more times, getting steadily louder.
Another one:
Two, four, six, eight
Who do we appreciate?
House Name!!!!!
Or a variant of that:
One, two, three, four,
Who do you think we’re barracking for?
Five, six, seven, eight,
Who do we appreciate?
(shout) House Name!!!!!
This one from Sydney Grammar might be able to be modified:
Alligator mince meat
Crocodile pie
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
Are we in it?
We say YES
We are the boys from S-G-S
G-R-A-M-M-A-R, Grammar!!!!!
You would need to change SGS and Grammar at the end, making sure the SGS syllables fit in.
Or you could be a little bit naughty:
Rah rah ree
Kick ‘em in the knee
Rah Rah rass
Kick ‘em in the other knee
Or this:
What do we eat?
What do we eat?
Wolf meat!
Wolf meat!
How do we like it?
How do we like it?
RAW! RAW! RAW!
This one’s funny:
Gimme a B! (B!)
Gimme an L! (L!)
Gimme a B! (B!)
Gimme an L! (L!)
Gimme a B! (B!)
Gimme an L! (L!)
(repeat as desired)
What’s that spell? BLBLBLBLBLBL!!! (in which everyone does that thing where you wiggle your finger between your lips and make that underwater fishy sound)
Another silly one:
Peel! Bananas! Peel peel bananas! (Accompany with banana-peeling motions)
Throw! Bananas! Throw throw bananas! (Accompany with banana-throwing motions)
Stomp! Bananas! Stomp stomp bananas! (Stomp rhythmically on floor)
Go! Bananas! Go go bananas! (Wave hands up in air, do silly things, hop around in a circle, etc.)
Or:
[Team name] is what? Dynamite!
[Team name] is what? Dynamite!
[Team name] is tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-BOOM Dynamite!
(Accompany the tick-tick part with hands going from at sides to above head like the hands of a clock, meeting above head in a clap at Boom.)
This one could be good, and a little naughty if your team is called Cobras:
Cobras! Cobras!
Comin’ through the grass!
You better watch out
Or we’ll bite you in the knee!
Another little rhyme:
Pork chops, pork chops
Greasy, greasy
We can beat (other team)
Easy, easy!
I remember this one from my school days:
Roll out the carpets
Roll out the mats,
Come on (House Name),
Knock ‘em flat!!
If you know of any others, especially ones that can easily be changed to suit, leave them in the comments.
Oxley Oxley
In the bin
Macquarie Macquarie further in
Cook Cook on the top
here comes Sturt to squash the lot
Don’t mess with the best coz the best don’t mess
Don’t fool with the cool coz the cool don’t fool
Go yellow o o o go yellow
We are the tram id the Green Triangle, every team we meat we mangle! Rah Rah Stick em in a jar, green is the best team the best by far!
Thanks for dropping by Brit – is the first line of your chant right?? I can’t quite work out the phrasing…
this website sucks get some mean ones.
Well, thanks for dropping by Tom – and sorry to have disappointed you. However, considering this site is aimed at primary school teachers, I think the chants listed so far have been suitable. We generally try to encourage participation and good sportsmanship at our carnivals – not the desire to harm or be mean to someone.
chocolate strawberry bannana split,
We think your team runs/swims like..
SHIFT TO THE LEFT
SHIFT TO THE RIGHT
COME ON (team name) FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
hey hey what do you say kingsford-smith all the way! (clap x2, clap thigh x2, clap shoulders crossed x2 and the fist in the air with OI!)
yeah brit did make a mistake.
‘we are the team from the (insert house colour) triangle,
every team we meet we mangle,
squish em up, squash em up,
put em in a jar.
come-on (team name)
RAH RAH RAH!
and also another one..
pepsi-cola, coca-cola,
scream and shout
we’re gonna hypnotise
and paralyse and knock you out.
we’re gonna F-I-G-H-T
we’re gonna S-C-O-R-E
we’re gonna fight we’re gonna score,
we’re gonna win this war
GOOOOOOO (team name)!!
a variant to that last one
pepsi-cola, coca-cola,
scream and shout
we’re gonna hypnotise
and paralyse and knock you out.
hit em high! (clapx2)
hit em low! (clap x2)
come-on (team name)
GO! GO! GO!
Thanks Christina – glad we got that one fixed up. I like your others also.
I don’t know if you know this one:
“Sittin’ on a bandstand, bangin’ on a tin can,
Who can? We can. Nobody else can win (clap-clap-clap)
Win (clap-clap-clap)
Come on (team name), let’s win (clap-clap-clap)!”
We used it for our high school sports events and the Rock Eisteddfod.
Thanks Phil – this was one of the new ones I heard when we gave the kids a chance to practise. But by the time I got home, I couldn’t remember it all!!

Thanks for dropping by ccurtis. Glad you liked the chants. I have taken the liberty of editing your comment to make it a little more appropriate – I haven’t, however, edited your punctuation or spelling, though I was tempted.
b l u e

Nice and simple Brookie. Thanks
Sittin’ on a bandstand,
Beatin’ on a tin can,

Thanks Kiah – I really like the waterfall one, and remember shouting “Extra, Extra” as a youngster at my own primary school carnivals! Can’t believe I didn’t already have it on here!
there was a little frog who sat upon a log
he barracked for the other team he had no sense at all
he fell into a puddle just about to drown
when he caught the mulhall spirit
and he couldnt let them down
he said go go go – go you mighty mulhall
fight fight fight – fight you mighty mulhall

Hi Macky,
Have a good look back through all the comments – there are some really good ones in there.
For the “Turn on the radio” chant – do a find for the word radio on this page, as anikaie, Caleb and hayley the awesome have all left the same (or similar) words – I’m not sure if there are more verses to it though.
If you do find more words, or other chants, be sure to drop by and leave them here so everyone can benefit.
Hope your Sports Day goes well.
