Activities for Kids

1. Choose a "Pumpkin."

2. The rest of the class joins hands in a circle, holding hands high.

3. Children sing the song as the "Pumpkin" weaves in and out
of the "windows of the upraised arms of the children in the circle.

4. On the words "Pick a Little Partner," the "Pumpkin" takes the nearest child out of the circle, joining both hands with the new partner and hopping into the centre of the circle with the partner.

5. The two children drop hands, and begin the game again, now with the partners becoming two "bluebirds." The circle rejoins hands and repeats the song. Both "bluebirds" now picking partners.

6. Continue repeating the song, accumulating "Bluebirds" until there is no circle left!
