Here We Sit

folk song / traditional

Lyrics

(Folk song)

Here we sit in a ring,
Close your eyes now while we sing.
One of us will go and hide,
Guess who made that space so wide.

Circle Singing Game

Formation: Students sit in a circle.
Students sing the song with eyes closed. Teacher taps one student to hide out of sight. At the end of the song, students open eyes and try to guess who is missing. The student who guesses correctly gets to be “It” and tap the next student to hide when the game begins again.

Variation
Formation: Students sit in a circle with one student (“It”) sitting in the middle.
“It” closes eyes. Teacher taps one student to hide out of sight. At the end of the song, “It” opens eyes and guesses who is missing.
