Lyrics - Spanish
(Folk song from Ecuador)
El juego chirimbolo que bonito es,
Con un pie, otro pie,
una mano otra mano,
un codo, otro codo
El juego chirimbolo, que bonito es.
English Translation - The thingamajig game
The thingamajig game, how nice it is.
With one foot, the other foot,
One hand, other hand,
One elbow, other elbow…
The thingamajig game, how nice it is.
Motions
Students stand up in a circle and hold hands. Similar to hokey pokey, they stick in one foot, then
the other, one hand, then the other, one elbow, then the other. You could add more body parts.
