Hi Friends! Here is a fun chanting game you can play with your brothers and sisters, and whoever takes care of you at home!
Recording of the chant is here: https://drive.google.com/file/
Step 1 Chant these lyrics (there is no tune, we're just speaking these words) Little Sally Walker, Sitting in a saucer, Rise Sally rise, Wipe out your eyes, Turn to the east, And turn to the west, And turn to the one that you like best.
Step 2 Sit in a circle. Choose someone to stand in the middle of the circle. This person will be the first "it".
Step 3 Have everyone chant the "Little Sally Walker" rhyme while patting a steady beat on their knees. The "it" person follows the directions provided by the chant.
Little Sally Walker - Sit in the middle of the circle. Sitting in a saucer - Remain seated. Rise Sally rise - Stand up. Wipe out your eyes - Wipe eyes. Turn to the east - Spin in one direction with right arm extended and index finger pointing at students in the circle. And turn to the west - Spin in the opposite direction. And turn to the one that you like best - Stop spinning. This student is the next "it" child.
Step 4 Repeat until everyone has had a chance to be “it.” |
