Here is an updated CST activities page about famous duos. It comes in four parts:
- Movies Part 1
- Movies Part 2
- TV Dynamic Duos
- Comedy Duos
and is interspersed with related music.
You can either click the first photo and use it as a broadcasted slide show, or you can take screenshots for printing out handouts.

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down
And broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got,
And home did trot
As fast as he could caper;
To old Dame Dob,
Who patched his nob
With vinegar and brown paper.
