ippa counting

Lyrics

(Traditional chant from England)

To choose who will be “It”

Ippa dippa dation
My operation
How many people at the station?
[Someone says a number between 1 and 10.]
The one who gets to number ____ [say same number]
Will surely be it!
1… [count up to same number]

To choose who will be “out”

Ippa dippa dation
My operation
How many people at the station?
[Someone says a number between 1 and 10.]
The one who gets to number ____ [say same number]
Will surely not be it!
1… [count up to same number]

Game

Formation: Students stand in a circle with a student who is “It” in the middle.
