HOW TO PLAY
1

Stand up straight and march in place as the rhyme begins.

2

Rise up onto your tiptoes and stretch your arms overhead when the rhyme says the group marched up.

3

Crouch down low toward the floor when the rhyme says they marched down again.

4

Stand at a normal height and stay still for the line about being neither up nor down.

5

Repeat the up-and-down sequence faster each round for a giggly finish.
