Two students create a house by taking hands. One student stands between them, inside the house.
Sing the song. At the word, “out,” the two players lift their hands and the student in the house steps out.
In the second half of the song (swing a lady uptum), the players inside the houses run to switch houses. Students may not go to the same house twice.
For an added challenge, take away one house so there is always a student in the middle trying to “steal” a house.
Students stand in groups of four. Players 1 and 2 take hands. Players 3 and 4 take hands above the hands of players 1 and 2. At “number one pops under,” players 3 and 4 lift their hands to let player 1 into the center of the circle. Continue with each new number, forming a daisy chain. At “frog in the bucket” all students hop together in a circle.
Students stand in two concentric circles. One student (the Miller) stands in the middle. As they sing the song, students link arms and step around the circle. At the last word, grab, the outer circle stops moving while the inner circle takes a step forward to link arms with a new partner. As the inner circle moves forward, the miller runs to link arms with a student in the outer circle. The student left without a partner is the new miller.
