>> Rachel: Good morning, Chompions! It’s time for Chompers, your morning and night toothbrushing show. 


Start brushing on the top of your mouth on one side and brush the inside, outside, and chewing side of each tooth. 


>> KIDS: 3, 2, 1 brush!


>> Rachel: This week on Chompers it’s (SFX drumroll) In Charge Week!


What’s In Charge week? It’s all about the ways that people are … in charge of stuff! So to start, we’ve got a quiz  (SFX QUIZ) about who IS and ISN’T in charge!


Our question is: Which of these people is not in charge of a group?


The president of a country? (SFX crowd cheering)


The chef of a restaurant? (SFX chef’s order)


OR


The captain of a boat? (SFX captain saying hi)

 

To figure it out, let’s first agree on what being In Charge means!


But before we do that, switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth and keep brushing. 


Being charge is a big deal; it is NOT an easy task. When you’re in charge of a group of people, your job is to lead them. That can mean guiding people, showing the way, making sure everyone is doing what they’re supposed to do … you may have to give orders or remind people that they have to follow certain kinds of rules. 


And when you’re in charge you have to make sure things operate in a way that makes everyone safe and happy - whether it’s on a boat, in the kitchen of a restaurant, or throughout an entire country.


Switch to the bottom of your mouth, and brush the molars in the way back.


And I’m speaking from experience. Because I, Rachel or the Chompers Lady, am in charge of Chompers. And I’m sort of in charge of all of you Chompions. (SFX KIDS HUH?) Well, I have to make sure that every morning and every night there is a Chompers episode for you to listen so that you Chompions never miss brushing your teeth. (SFX HURRAY) 


And part of my job is to remember to tell you all to … Switch to the other side of the bottom of your mouth, and brush your front teeth, too. So that you brush ALL your teeth and not just the ones on the top left of your mouth!


So now that we know what it means to be in charge of a group, it’s time to make a choice.


Which of these people is not in charge of a group?


The president of a country? (SFX crowd cheering)


The chef of a restaurant? (SFX chef’s order)


OR


The captain of a boat? (SFX captain saying hi)


You’ll have to come back to Chompers tonight to find out. Until tonight, rinse with water before you- 


>> KIDS: 3, 2, 1 spit!
