| Danish Counting The girls stand in a circle. There should be an odd number of them. The girls hold hands in pairs, the one girl who is left is the girl who will start the game. They all sing this song and as they sing, the first girl runs to get a partner by taking her away from her pair and bringing her back to her place in the circle, where they then stand holding hands in a new pair. The girl who is left behind then does the same and runs to find another new partner from somewhere else in the circle. The Leader should try and make sure that all the girls have a turn at being picked to make a new pair. The song is One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. One and twenty, two and twenty, three and four and five and six and twenty Twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, and thirty. One and thirty, two and thirty, three and four and five and six and thirty Thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty nine, and forty. And so on up to 100. The whole point of the game is not to be left standing on your own at the end, as you sing the song you get faster and faster, so the girls have to be quicker in choosing a partner. |
