Lyrics
(English folk song)
Snail, snail,
Snail, snail,
Go around and round and round
Game
Formation: Students stand in a line holding hands. One student at one end of the line is the Head (Leader) and the other person at the other end is the Tail.
As students sing the song, the Tail stands still while the Leader leads the rest of the line to form a tight coil around the Tail. Once all students are coiled around, the Leader turns around and leads the line to uncoil the circle until they are in a line again.
Recorder Notes E, G, A
