Lyrics

1. There’s a student* in the ring, Tra-la-la-la-la.
There’s a student in the ring, Tra-la-la-la-la-la,
Student in the ring, Tra-la-la-la-la,
And she/he looks like the sugar in a plum, plum, plum.

2. Now show us your motion…

3. Now let’s skip across the ocean…

*original lyrics “brown girl”

Game

It’s a fun song and game to help the students start out the school year: to get to know each others’ names and work together.
