Playing Voyageurs

Playing 'Les Voyageurs'

We set up our chairs to make a giant canoe and we paddled down the river.  We sang voyageur songs and paddled until our arms were tired.  Suddenly, we hit some rapids and lost a few little voyageurs who fell overboard!  The next time we came to some rapids, we portaged by carrying our canoe over our heads.  It was a long and hard trek.  Next, we spent a night sleeping under our canoe (tables) for shelter, and we rose to face the river again.  Oh, the life of a voyageur!
