			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we had a &#8220;House Sports&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>Anyway, thought it would be good if I could start collecting some of these.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the first one:</p>
<blockquote><p>Wherever we go, (Wherever we go),</p>
<p>People want to know, (People want to know),</p>
<p>Who we are, (Who we are),</p>
<p>So we tell them, (So we tell them),</p>
<p>We are <strong>house name</strong>, (We are <strong>house name</strong>),</p>
<p>Mighty, Might <strong>house name</strong>, (Mighty, mighty <strong>house name</strong>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Repeat two more times, getting steadily louder.</p>
<p>Another one:</p>
<blockquote><p>Two, four, six, eight</p>
<p>Who do we appreciate?</p>
<p><strong>House Name</strong>!!!!!</p></blockquote>
<p>Or a variant of that:</p>
<blockquote><p>One, two, three, four,</p>
<p>Who do you think we&#8217;re barracking for?</p>
<p>Five, six, seven, eight,</p>
<p>Who do we appreciate?</p>
<p>(shout) <strong>House Name</strong>!!!!!</p></blockquote>
<p>This one from Sydney Grammar might be able to be modified:</p>
<blockquote><p>Alligator mince meat</p>
<p>Crocodile pie</p>
<p>V-I-C-T-O-R-Y</p>
<p>Are we in it?</p>
<p>We say YES</p>
<p>We are the boys from S-G-S</p>
<p>G-R-A-M-M-A-R, Grammar!!!!!</p></blockquote>
<p>You would need to change SGS and Grammar at the end, making sure the SGS syllables fit in.</p>
<p>Or you could be a little bit naughty:</p>
<blockquote><p>Rah rah ree<br />
Kick &#8216;em in the knee<br />
Rah Rah rass<br />
Kick &#8216;em in the other knee</p></blockquote>
<p>Or this:</p>
<blockquote><p>What do we eat?<br />
What do we eat?<br />
Wolf meat!<br />
Wolf meat!<br />
How do we like it?<br />
How do we like it?<br />
RAW! RAW! RAW!</p></blockquote>
<p>This one&#8217;s funny:</p>
<blockquote><p>Gimme a B! (B!)<br />
Gimme an L! (L!)<br />
Gimme a B! (B!)<br />
Gimme an L! (L!)<br />
Gimme a B! (B!)<br />
Gimme an L! (L!)<br />
<strong>(repeat as desired)</strong><br />
What&#8217;s that spell?  BLBLBLBLBLBL!!! <strong>(in which everyone does that thing where you wiggle your finger between your lips and make that underwater fishy sound)</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Another silly one:</p>
<blockquote><p>Peel!  Bananas!  Peel peel bananas! <strong> (Accompany with banana-peeling motions)</strong><br />
Throw!  Bananas!  Throw throw bananas! <strong>(Accompany with banana-throwing motions)</strong><br />
Stomp!  Bananas!  Stomp stomp bananas! <strong> (Stomp rhythmically on floor)</strong><br />
Go!  Bananas!  Go go bananas!  <strong>(Wave hands up in air, do silly things, hop around in a circle, etc.)</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Or:</p>
<blockquote><p>[Team name] is what? Dynamite!<br />
[Team name] is what? Dynamite!<br />
[Team name] is tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-BOOM Dynamite!<br />
<strong>(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.)</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>This one could be good, and a little naughty if your team is called Cobras:</p>
<blockquote><p>Cobras! Cobras!<br />
Comin&#8217; through the grass!<br />
You better watch out<br />
Or we&#8217;ll bite you in the knee!</p></blockquote>
<p>Another little rhyme:</p>
<blockquote><p>Pork chops, pork chops<br />
Greasy, greasy<br />
We can beat <strong>(other team)</strong><br />
Easy, easy!</p></blockquote>
<p>I remember this one from my school days:</p>
<blockquote><p>Roll out the carpets</p>
<p>Roll out the mats,</p>
<p>Come on <strong>(House Name)</strong>,</p>
<p>Knock &#8216;em flat!!</p></blockquote>
<p>If you know of any others, especially ones that can easily be changed to suit, leave them in the comments.</p>
