FORMATION:
Children form a circle with one person in the center. Those in the circle dance in a ring around the one in the middle, singing the first verse. They all stand still while the 'middleman' sings the second verse and afterward, he or she chooses one (or more) children to join him/her in the middle of the ring. Continue singing the verses until all children have been chosen. Then all sing the final verse.
