Lyrics - German
(Folk song from Germany)
Ringlein, Ringlein, du musst wandern
von dem einen zu dem andern.
Das ist hübsch, das ist schön.
Lasst das Ringlein nur nicht seh‘n.
English Translation - Little ring Little ring you must travel
Little ring, little ring, you must travel
from one to the other.
That’s pretty, that’s nice.
Just don’t let the ring be seen.
Ring Passing Game
Formation: Students sit in a circle. One person is “It” sitting outside the circle.
Students pass a ring from one to another and try not to show “It” who has it.
