Cecil was a caterpillar, Cecil was my friend

The last time I saw Cecil he was *this* big (fingers about an inch apart)

(Scouts:) How big?

(Leader:) *This* big

I said “Ooh, Cecil! What have you done?”

And Cecil said

“I’ve eaten all the cabbages in the garden”

 

Cecil was a caterpillar, Cecil was my friend

The last time I saw Cecil he was *this* big (hands apart six inches apart)

(Scouts:) How big?

(Leader:) *This* big

I said “Ooh, Cecil! What have you done?”

And Cecil said

“I’ve eaten all the cabbages in the street”

 

Repeats: Town, county, country, continent, world, universe and so on until Cecil is so big you have to run across the circle to indicate size, and Cecil’s eaten all the cabbages in the universe.

And Cecil said

“I’ve been sick”
