Another song with a ‘la’ pitch in it to reinforce the new hand sign.
Learn the song along with the handsigns using the video.
Game: the children stand in a circle and hold their hands out in front of them. One person stands in the middle (the guesser) and another is chosen to be the hider. The hider has the task of hiding a penny (or another small object) in someone’s hands as follows:
As everyone sings the song the hider goes around the circle one by one and to a steady beat, pretending to put the penny in everyone’s clasped hands. They do actually put the penny in one child’s hands, and the guesser has to say who it is.
