singing games

Ring-around-the-rosie type

Singing games are children's activities that combine song with structured movement or play—ring-around-the-rosy, London Bridge, duck-duck-goose.

Players typically sing together while performing coordinated actions, choosing partners, or eliminating participants.

The songs often have traditional melodies passed down through generations of playground culture.
