Lyrics
(Folk song)
Charlie over the water,
Charlie over the sea,
Charlie caught a blackbird,
Might been me.
Circle Game
Formation: Students stand in a circle with one student “It” standing in the center.
Students sing. On the last word, all students stoop down. “It” tries to tag a student before stooping. That student becomes the new “It.”
