Lyrics:_x000D_
In and out of the dusty bluebells, _x000D_
In and out of the dusty bluebells, _x000D_
In and out of the dusty bluebells, _x000D_
I am the leader._x000D_
Then, the person who is the leader stops behind a member of the circle and the circle sings: _x000D_
Give a little pit-a-pat on your shoulder, _x000D_
Give a little pit-a-pat on your shoulder, _x000D_
Give a little pit-a-pat on your shoulder, _x000D_
I am the leader OR You will be the leader (the leader of the time has to choose if they want to carry on leading or pass the responsibility on)._x000D_
Whoever has been patted on the shoulder either leads or follows the original leader and forms a chain. _x000D_
They then skip in and out of the arches together while the circle sings, with the person behind holding on to the leader’s waist. _x000D_
Get all of the children involved to stand in a circle all holding hands and choose someone to start (easy to choose with who is the youngest or tallest). The child who starts is the first leader and stands in the middle of the circle and all of the children, whilst holding hands, lift their arms in the air to create small arches between them all. The leader then skips between the arches whilst everyone sings. When the leader stops and stands behind someone (as stated in the lyrics) the person in the circle can either become the leader or is their leader. They then form a conga line. This continues until everyone is part of the line. _x000D_
If you have a large number of children you could have two leaders.
