Lyrics - German
(Folk song)
Ich bin die kleine Hexe und habe rote Schuh,
ich reit’ auf meinem Besen und sing’ ein Lied dazu.
Hei hopp hopp hopp, hei hopp hopp hopp,
hei hopp hopp hopp, hei hopp hopp hopp,
hei hopp hopp hopp, hei hopp hopp hopp.
English Translation
I’m the little witch and I have red shoes.
I ride on my broomstick and sing a song.
Hey, hop, hop, hop, hop,
Hey, hop, hop, hop, hop,
Hey, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop.
Circle Game
Formation: Students sit or stand in a circle. One student is “It” (“Witch”).
“It” gallops around the inside of the circle with a broomstick. (Sing the color of the shoes “It” is wearing.) At the end, “It” chooses another student to become the new “It.”
