Here's a quick little addition to Ring Around the Rosy. After everyone "falls down" and is sitting, pat the ground as you chant:
"Fishes in the ocean,
Fishes in the sea.
We all stand up again,
One...Two...Three!"
Slowly draw out One...Two...and on Three stand up and raise both hands in the air! Then, of course, you MUST start again with another round of Ring Around the Rosy. :)
The children LOVE the additional chant and usually we end up with a never ending round of Ring Around the Rosy for the next half hour or so!

Love it. It also gives the mommies a little more of a breather in between. :)
ReplyDeleteBecky- too funny! I never thought of it that way, but you're exactly right! :)...you know when you do ring around the rosy for 1/2 an hour, you really do deserve a bit of a break in between!
