Lyrics

Come children, come children come play as we pass the sick
Dan dah ran do (Dan dah ran do)
Dan dah ran do (Dan dah ran do)
Dan dah ran do (Dan dah ran do)
Dan dah ran do (Dan dah ran do)

Students sit in a circle. On the steady beat (twice per measure), students pass sticks (or bean bags or stones) to the right. On the “off beat,” students pick up the stick that was placed in front of them.
