HOW TO PLAY
1

Everyone joins hands to form a large circle, with one player starting as the caller in the center.

2

The circle steps sideways together in rhythm while singing the repeating verses of the song.

3

The caller sings out a short new line or invites a specific action, like changing direction or crouching low.

4

The circle responds by singing the chorus back and following the caller's action together.

5

After a verse or two, the caller chooses another player to take over calling from the center.

6

Continue rotating the caller role, adding new verses, until the group is ready to stop.
