HOW TO PLAY
1

Players join hands and form a circle, with one player standing alone in the middle.

2

The circle walks around while singing the traditional verse about wanting to find a suitable partner.

3

On the final line of the verse, the player in the middle points to or walks toward another player in the circle.

4

That chosen player steps into the middle to join the singer for a playful little dance or bow.

5

The two switch places with players from the circle, and a new player takes the center spot.

6

Repeat the song and selection process so several players get a turn in the middle.
