As the song is sung, the “bluebird” weaves in and out the windows as they move around the circle.Instruct students that they are going to lift their hands in the air, creating windows for the bluebird.One student is selected to be the “bluebird.” Students stand in a circle formation holding hands.My students love playing this singing game each spring. Little mouse is scampering (child in the center comes out of the circle and chases the “mouse” one time around the circle)īluebird is another student favorite with many variations.Old gray is creeping (child sneaks around the inside of the circle looking for the mouse).Little mouse is creeping (child creeps/crawls around the outside of the circle).Old gray cat is sleeping (child in the middle of the circle pretends to sleep).The cat sits in the middle of the circle and the mouse sits on the outside of the circle. Choose one child to be the cat and one child to be the mouse. Little mouse is scampering (hands on knees, patting as quickly as possible).Old gray is creeping (hands on knees, keeping a quiet macrobeat).Little mouse is creeping (hands on knees, keeping a quiet microbeat).Old gray cat is sleeping (put hands to cheek and pretend to sleep).

My students LOVE the Old Gray Cat because they get to act out the story! I often teach the song in its entirety with stationary movements before teaching the students how to play it as a singing game.
Triple meter (beat divides in 3 – regardless of time signature – it’s how you feel it).At the end of the chant, the child in the center chooses a new child to be in the center of the circle.Child in the center acts out the chant.Students tap a steady beat on the floor along to the chant.“Don’t cry Sally, don’t cry Sally! Wipe those tears away!ĭon’t cry Sally, don’t cry Sally! Jump up now and play!” At the end of the song, students say “Ka-boom!” On the “Ka” – students release hands.Students walk counterclockwise as song is sung.Select one student to stand in the center of the circle.I’m sharing the version I sing in my classroom. Sally Go Round the Sun is a well known folk tune with many variations of the melody as well as the game.
