Dutch Shoe game

You must pass this shoe from me to you,

You must pass this shoe and do just as I do!

 

Jaybird

Way down south not very far off,

A Jaybird died of the whooping cough

He whooped so loud from the whooping cough

That he whooped his head and his tail right off!

 

Auntie Monica

Oh I have an Auntie, An Auntie Monica,

And when she goes out shopping,

They all say oh-la-la!

 

Because her feathers swaying,

Her feathers swaying so, (x2)

 

Because her hat is swaying,

Because her muff is swaying

Because her skirt is swaying

Because my Aunt is swaying…

 

Boa Constrictor

I’ve been eaten by a Boa Constrictor,

A boa constrictor, a boa constrictor

And I don’t care a bit!

 

2. Oh no! It’s eaten my toe!

3. Poor me! It’s eaten my knee!

4. Oh my! It’s eaten my thigh!

5. Oh fiddle, it’s eaten my middle!

6. Oh heck! It’s eaten my neck!

7. I’m dead; it’s eaten my head!

 

Red Men

We are the red men tall and straight,

With our feathers and war paint.

 

Pow wow, pow wow,

We are the men of the old dun cow, how.

All of us are red men, feathers in our head men, down among the dead men,

Pow-wow, pow-wow

 

We can fight with sticks and stones,

Bows and arrows, bricks and bones.

 

We come home from fights and wars,

Greeted by our long nose squaws.

 

Singing in the rain

I’m singing in the rain,

Just singing in the rain,

What a wonderful feeling,

I’m happy again!

Hang about! (Repeated back)

Thumbs out! (Repeated back)

 

A roo chicha, a roo chicha, a roo chicha cha!

A roo chicha, a roo chicha, a roo chicha cha!

 

Elbows in!

Knees bent!

Toes together!

Bums out!

Chest out!

Head Down!

Tongue out!

 

We’re going on a lion hunt

We’re going on a lion hunt

We’re not scared

Got me gun my side

And bullets too.

We’re coming to some short grass*

We can’t go over it

We can’t go under it

We’ll have to go through it.

(Make actions and sounds to support this)

 

*Long grass

*Swamp

*River

*Cave (find a lion inside, scream and do all the actions in reverse to get back home)

 

Chinese Fan

My ship sailed from China with a cargo of tea,

All laden with presents for you and for me,

They bought me a fan,

Just imagine my bliss,

When I found myself going like this, like this.

 

Father Abraham

Father Abraham had 7 sons

7 sons had Father Abraham

And he never laughed

And he never cried

All he ever did was this….

Right arm. (Repeat adding another action at the end)
