Charlie Over the Ocean

Lyrics

(Folk song)

Charlie over the ocean, (echo)
Charlie over the sea, (echo)
Charlie catch a big fish (echo)
Can’t catch me. (echo)

Game

Leader (“It”) walks quickly around the circle while singing. On the last word, “It” taps a student. That person becomes the next “It.”

(I use this to assess pitch matching, so I make sure each student gets a turn.)
