This is a fun passing game but can be challenging because it requires all students to pass accurately. If students do not pass correctly, there will be a pile-up of rocks/beanbags.

Activity

Sit students in a circle. Teach the song by rote (noting the repeat). Practice passing one beanbag or stone around the circle to a steady beat. Once you can do it with the song and a single beanbag, give every student a beanbag or rock of their own.

Activity

Sit students in a circle, close enough to pass an object to their neighbor. Practice singing the song while everyone taps the ground in front of themselves.

Practice passing a baby shoe around the circle to the beat, repeating the word “pass” with every pass. Remind students to place it on the ground, not toss it, hand it to their neighbors, or hold onto the shoe.

Pass the shoe while singing the song. Freeze on the word “shoe” and see who is holding the shoe.

Activity:

Pair up students for rock-paper-scissors game. If a student wins, they find a new partner. If a student loses, they sit down. The goal is to get to a single “champion.”

Adjusting for movement differences: Create cards for each of the hand signs, select from a visual choice board, or AAC. Alternatively, students who are capable of doing the hand signs but not in time with the chant can hold their hand behind their back or turn around to reveal their choice.
