Lyrics
(Scottish folk song)
Did you ever see a lassie,
A lassie, a lassie,
Did you ever see a lassie
Go this way and that.
Go this way and that way
And this way and that way
Did you ever see a lassie
Go this way and that.
Circle Singing Game
Formation: Students stand in a circle with one student as “It.”
As the students sing, “this way and that way,” “It” does a motion, and the other students copy that motion. Then, “It” chooses another child (“laddie” if a boy, “lassie” if a girl) to become “It.” (source)
