4. When introducing the song, break it down by singing it phrase by
phrase and having the students repeat after you.
5. When you have broken it down phrase by phrase, you will now put
two or three phrases together and have the kids repeat after you.
6. After putting together a couple of phrases, you will now do it in
halves. Sing the first half, have the students repeat and then sing the
second half and have the students repeat.
7. Once the halves are done, you will now sing the whole song all at
once with the students.
8. Once the students sing the song, you will now introduce the activity.
9. Put students in a circle, holding hands.
10. Choose a leader and the leader will break hands with the person
next to them.
11. Now, the leader will walk around and lead the rest of the class in a
