HOW TO PLAY
1

Players join hands in a large circle with one caller standing in the middle.

2

The circle skips or steps in rhythm while everyone sings the traditional folk verses together.

3

On cued lines, the caller points to a player who must step into the middle and mimic a simple dance move.

4

The rest of the circle copies the chosen player's move while continuing to sing.

5

The song repeats with a new caller taking the middle, keeping the dance moving around the group.
