Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
No Reprise at Blueberry Trellis with the Folding Story Wheel
The part everyone joins: “Trade the card, change the part.” Each decision changes who leads, checks, carries, or keeps room.
Lyrics
Four paths leaned down from mailbox bend.
No one formed a line.
Lex heard five light steps.
Brandon answered with seven.
Austin watched the damp turns.
Aleea carried the folded wheel.
At blueberry trellis, four picture cards opened:
lead, check, carry, make room.
Role-Trade Hook
All: Trade the card, change the part.
Five steps listen; seven steps start.
Choose, then pass—no role stays still.
Leave one place for a changing will.
First choice: Lex led; Austin checked.
The cards changed hands.
Second choice: Brandon carried; Aleea made room.
The cards changed hands again.
The folding wheel pointed toward bridge alcove,
but its bright flat face could not span the damp gap.
It solved the direction question,
not the crossing question.
Uneven-Meter Turn
Five beats: Point, pause, peer, pass, wait.
Seven beats: Pair, step, check, clear, cross, turn, trade.
Lex crossed with Austin.
Brandon crossed with Aleea.
The wheel stayed folded and dry.
No one used it as a bridge.
Irreversible Turn — Newcomer Space
One extra blank role card slid from the wheel.
No name was written on it.
Aleea held it open and said,
“This part keeps room for someone new—or for a changed mind.”
The opening walking refrain ended there.
The blank card changed the game rule.
Cleanup Celebration
At bridge alcove, Lex stacked the used role cards.
Brandon brushed loose pebbles from the clear edge.
Austin folded the story wheel along its safe hinge.
Aleea placed the blank card beside the open joining space.
Cleanup response:
Stack it.
Brush it.
Fold it.
Leave room.
Five quiet taps, then seven soft claps—
the celebration happens while the work is put away.
