marvellous I can't wait to win what makes you so sure you're going to win long-john rotten as always finds away

well what kind of game shall we play oh we must find a winner so I think it's fit that we learn a game where we can

choose who is it hi there my name's Arthur my great-grandparents came from

Japan and they taught me a terrific game for choosing who's going to be it rumor reaches me that you'd be interested in

learning such a game rumor has reached you correctly yeah what's the game it's

a Ken game what the can game in Ken games you use your hands and fingers to

decide who is it or who goes first this one is called John Kimpo in English it's

called rock scissors paper first we split up into pairs now we make a fist and say John Kimpo I cut a show

and throw out a sign with one hand like this the sign for rock is a closed fist

but this sign means scissors watch them cut and this means paper laid out flat

now let me tell you where it's at a rock can break scissors so rock will win here

and scissors cut paper now is this all clear and paper wrap stones or the

paper wins now the stronger sign always will win and that's how you play John

Kim Poe may the best player win divided into pairs now get set and begin little

Billie's unsuspecting characters realize that in keeping with my redoubtable

reputation for ruthless and rampant rottenness i have concealed a tube of

Aggie glue under my hat my what a lovely

day to play John kin poo just look at that beautiful son gosh mr. spoilsport

confused let's play paper covers rock I win yeah if I didn't know better I'd

swear my hand was stuck together with icky glue I win again yeah if I weren't sure that it couldn't

be true I'd swear my head was full of icky glue I win again yeah it's another

triumph for dastardly and dishonest deviltry well um John I guess you win

the prize and here it is available for the first time anywhere this fabulous record collection

looks like salir and it's the king and queen oh no not again we do not have to

know you to know you are dirty we know

ourselves and we are clean the cleanest

but you must be dirty how can you tell

because if you were clean you would look like us

wow that was strange good heavens for a minute we were back

in sani land you know those creatures almost made me believe that I was dirty

even though I know I'm not that's right Henry those sandy Landers were really

foolish I wonder what made them like that I think they were really afraid of

outsiders yeah so they invented a reason to feel superior that cleaners don't

clean but you must be dirty you sounded

just like the Queen the light and it's coming my forest - boy this is fantastic

I wonder if [Music]

Wow it looks like technovic we want to examine you more closely away young man

[Music]

[Music]

you hear that I know you're in here where are you

[Music] well I'll never do that again man I was

really stupid yeah but not as stupid as I was try to use the directions

backwards what it idiot it showed you how much trouble you can get into by not

trusting others just because of the way they look yeah those were the friend these

creatures we met and we wouldn't even let them help us yeah but I'm beginning to wonder if

we've really been lost all this time what do you mean Eleanor oh I don't know

it's just feeling I have about this voyage the strange places we've seen all

the things we've learned yeah and these lights there's something about these

lights look at that what's this going to

be it's hurry up old fella when does a

young young smell the best I give up Gwyn when he's far far away gee it's

just like the show but it doesn't seem so funny anymore I'll say it isn't funny

you mean you're laughing at them yes everybody the whole audience was

laughing at least I thought so damage

how could we have laughter those four unions well at first it looked like they

would have be fun making the tree treats laughs yeah until we learned at the tree

treats we're forcing the unions to make fool of themselves and then it became really terrible it was terrible but once

we understood what they were doing it was easy to change things around yeah those tree

didn't like being laughed at one bit boy I'll never make fun of anyone after

seeing that hey what's that oh no we're headed right for it looks

like it's not light it's the opposite of light it's blackness it's a black hole in the

sky to be continued my name is Marcos

Dimas I am a member of the Tiger boricua the polar weekend workshop where artists

got together and decided to establish a center of Arts in the community much of

my graphic work and painting deals with the theme of Torino designs the Taino

Indians were the first inhabitants of Puerto Rico they had a rich culture

going until the Spaniards came over and colonized the island I tried to deal

with all that lost culture bring it back and make it alive again as I get more

into the history I can see and understand their pictures more in my art

I relate what the images mean to me

although it is an abstract form it's more of the feelings that I work with we

have classes in drawing painting photography and so screen printing the

first step is the artwork could be a picture

it could be letters or it could be a drawing the second step is to make a stencil stencil is a cutout of the

artwork wherever we cut out the April pass through and print on the paper

[Music]

we're gonna take this then we put the

work over the screen I can remember my first rewarding experience with art it

was in the first grade I drew a man walking it was a picture of

my grandfather the children's art is the

most free and most lively art produced the ideas of fresh and now we join the

big game hunt the show that asks the question can a nice girl like cricket wicket find new games to play every day

hmm what's this dear announcer we

couldn't face sitting through that long-winded introduction of yours again we are off to New Mexico to learn a new

game maybe you'd like to join us if we're lucky you might learn a new

introduction hmm signs cricket and Ringo aha likewise oh so cricket and Ringo off

the New Mexico way that's all I wanted to know why this is none other than that

all-around rotten person long chance spoilsport himself you forgot to mention I also steal candy

from babies he also steals candy from babies but not big babies I'm also a

coward I'm going to spoil their game yeah the game we're going to play is a

lot of fun the name of its pinata it started in Italy ages ago then they

played it in spain and an old mexico both young and old playing both bass and

soprano it was brought to the USA by the Chicanos now here's the pinata this

thing here you say that's right it's made out of crepe paper and clay and

inside there's candy and other good stuff like pennies confetti and popcorn enough to last you a week but you have

to get at it and how do we do that well you just have to bat it with this long

stick here till you break the pinata you must wear a blindfold I will if I gotta

not only that I'll be pulling this rope so it won't be as easy to hit as you'd

hope now put on your blindfolds it's time to begin the first one to break the

pinata will win what's the word for stick what's the word for blindfold

why cricket wicked what a coincidence meeting you here do you mind if I take a

turn and why should I give you a turn at

the pinata because you're sweet decent upright and all-around good sport well

that's true alright long-john go ahead and take a turn yeah yeah little does she know that

I have concealed the magnet in the pinata now I'll just attach another

magnet to the stick and I can't possibly miss here's your blindfold Long John

be fair if that game wrecker won he's planning to cheat something has to be

done the time has come to strike a blow for rottenness now to strike a blow for

good sportsmanship and niceness curses

beaten again my name is Silvia Cruz

I'm Puerto rican-american the other day my teacher took our class on a chip to a

new sales and value it is an Art Museum located in New York City the best part

of the museum were the classes where the boys and girls our age you were doing all sorts of great things some were

painting drawing or making things out of clay others were doing silkscreen

designs and linoleum cuts everyone seemed to be very busy and happy

most of the artwork was about Puerto Rico and its history the name Puerto

Rico means which port after seeing the paintings Puerto Rico seemed like a

beautiful island with a sunshine spent all day with there are many beaches

flowers and cheese Christopher Columbus landed on Puerto Rico in 1492 before

that time the Taino Indians lived on the island they slept in boils or straw huts

and hunted for their food the Taino Indians used to make drawings are large

stones near rivers and in forests many of the wood carvings and paintings that

we saw at the Museum were based on these drawings the meaning of the Taino

designs are still a mystery but they're fascinating their meaning might someday

be discovered by one of us some of the art done in the museum class is just

dealt with imaginary things funny masked [Music]

happy masters people

animals and even objects that can be used at home when our visa came to an

end a lot of us wanted to join in Roussel in value to learn to make

beautiful things using our imagination and our hands [Music]

Lola Rodriquez de Tia was a writer of poems in Puerto Rico at that time Puerto

Rico was owned by Spain and the people wanted to be free

Lola wrote about her love for Puerto Rico and her feelings for freedom for her people

in a song called labora in Kenya la tierra de bringing donde nacido you so

hard in Florida Marco primo on c-loc impregnated only servitude of them a

donna ruko splashy das las olas are so Spears cuando sus playas Vega :

exclaim oh gee no Deyanira theone Oh

esta es la Linda tierra que busca yo his boring dream life like a damn aerial

soul tell mari el sol de my young soul

the people of Puerto Rico heard this song and it made them proud of themselves they rose up against Spain in

the city called la race [Music]

many people say that on that day the people of Puerto Rico proved to

themselves that they could be free of Spain and the warm feelings that Lola

Rodriguez de Pio put into the world of love born in Kenya still live today the

island of boring King where I was born is a garden of flowers of magical beauty

the sky always cleared serves as its canopy and the peaceful ocean murmurs

around it on the day long ago when Columbus arrived in the harbor he

exclaimed full of admiration oh this is

the beautiful island that I have been seeking Borinquen is the island the island of sun and sea of suns and

the boring Kenya is now the national anthem of the Commonwealth in my friend

[Music]

[Music] [Applause]
