RING AROUND A ROSY
The children take hold of hands and form a circle; except one who stands in the center of the ring. They circle around singing this little verse
Ring Around a Rosy
A pocket full of posy
The one who stoops last
Wants to be your Beau-sy
When the verse is ended the children in the circle stoop quickly and the last one down must join the child in the center of the ring. The circle of children go around again singing the same ditty. The last child to stoop this time joins the one who went into the circle the previous time and the child who has remained through the two verses steps out and joins the children in the circle.
