A fun little variation on the famous game with a dark past!
Game Type: Study Break
Recommended Ages: 5-7
Number Of Players: Whole class or small group
Equipment Required: Nil
Where To Play: Indoors or outdoors
Duration: 5 minutes
How To Play
Step One: Students join hands and make a circle. But here is the twist. Rather than stand up, everyone sits down to begin.
Step Two: Everyone sings the song and shuffles around in a circle on their bottoms to the tune, ‘ringa ringa rosie, a pocket full of posie, atishoo atishoo we all jump up!’.
Step Three: On ‘we all jump up’, all students jump to their feet. The challenge is to remain holding hands!
Teaching Note
Reverse Ringa Ringa Rosie is a great way to introduce the concepts of clockwise and anti-clockwise.
It’s great that you are getting ideas from this post as well as from our dialogue made here.
