Lyrics
(Folk song)
Listen listen here I come
Someone special gets the drum
Circle Game
Formation – Students sit in a circle. One student is “It.”
As students sing, “It” walks outside the circle pointing to each student on the beat. On the last word, “drum,” “It” stops and points to a student, who then becomes the new “It.” The original “It” takes a turn playing a drum.

This is a melody from the Orff Schulwerk Music for Children Volume I (Murray edition) – it allows for wonderful short solo opportunities for young students. 😊
