Human Knot:
Have everyone stand in a circle and grab two hands with two different people somewhere else in the circle. Now try to untangle yourselves back into a normal circle holding hands with the people next to you. While untangling you cannot let go of the hands you are holding. You will have to climb under the hands of others as well as duck under. For an easier game split into smaller groups before creating the knot.
Charlie Chaplin:
This is a chant, there is not any melody associated with it.
Chorus
Charlie Chaplin went to France
To teach the ladies how to dance
And this is how he did it.
Heel, toe and over we go
And over we go
And over we go
Heel, toe and over we go
And this is how he did it.
Chorus
Heel, toe and up we go
And up we go
And up we go
Heel, toe and up we go
And this is how he did it.
Chorus
Heel, toe and around we go
And around we go
And around we go
Heel, toe and around we go
And this is how he did it
Chorus
Heel, toe and over we go
And up we go
And around we go
Heel, toe and over we go
And up we go
And around we go
And this is how he did it.
Throughout the entire chant, starting right at the chorus, jump to the beat. On the word "heel" tap one heel on the ground. On the word "toe" tap the toe of the same foot you tapped the heel of. On the word "over" cross one foot over the other. On the word "up" raise one knee up high. On the word "around" jump and spin around in the air. Continue jumping straight through to the end. This is a great activity to get rid of a lot of extra energy that children might have!
