Ring Around the Border

Original Version(See PDF download for adapted version.)

Formation: Students stand in a circle, holding hands. One student (“It”) stands in the middle.

• Verse 1 = Students circle to the right.
• Verse 2 = Students stand still and raise hands to form “windows.”
• Verse 3 = “It” walks in and out of the “windows.”
• Verse 4 = “It” goes back to the middle of the circle and stares (“peeps”) at a student (“Student 2”). (The stare could include a wink, or blink 3 times, or raise eyebrows, etc.)
• Verse 5 = Student 2 tries to tap “It” while “It” tries to go stand in the space “Student 2” just vacated.
• Verse 6 = Students chase each other.
• Verse 7 = If Student 2 taps “It,” “It” goes to the vacant spot in the circle. If “It” is not tapped, either “It” gets another turn in the middle, or both “It” and Student 2 are in the middle for the repeat of the song.
