Circle Round the Zero

Players stand in a circle clapping the beat, spaced slightly apart from each other. The leader walks around the outside of the circle; at "Back, back zero," he stands back to back with one of the players; at "Side, side zero," he stands beside him; at "Front, front zero,' he stands facing the child chosen; at "Tap your lovin' zero,' he taps him on the shoulders. The game is repeated, with the first leader taking the place of the one he has chosen. (from kodaly.hnu.edu)


Closet Key

Players form a ring with hands behind them. Verses 1 - 2: One player with a key walks around the outside of the ring and places the key in someone's hands, while leading the singing. Verse 3: The player with the key leads the singing. Walker rejoins the circle and the player with the key becomes the new leader. (from kodaly.hnu.edu)

Did You Ever See a Lassie


The players form a circle and, as they sing "this was and that way," one player chooses a motion which the others imitate. At the end of the song, the child in center chooses another child to be "it." If a boy is chosen, the word "Lassie" becomes "Laddie." (from kodaly.hnu.edu)
