Jing-Ga-Ring

Lyrics

Here we go by jing-ga-ring,
by jing-ga-ring, by jing-ga-ring
Here we go by Jing-ga-ring,
Around the merry-ma-tanzy.

___ is her/his name,
Is her/his name, is her/his name
___ is her/his name,
Around the merry-ma-tanzy.

Circle game

Formation – Students stand in a circle with one student in the middle (“It”).

While singing verses 1 and 2, students join hands and walk in the circle. At the end of verse 2, they stop. The student who the inside student is facing becomes the new person in the middle. (Option: the student in the middle holds arm out and points straight ahead – that will help decide which student becomes the next “It.”)
