Punchanlla Little Fellow ?

Children stand in a circle. Use a selection rhyme to choose a child to stand in the middle of the circle.
The children in the circle join hands and turn around the child in the centre in a clockwise direction.
As they turn they sing -
" What can you do Punchanella little fella ?
What can you do Punchanella little one ? "
The child in the centre performs an action anything the want - jumping, dancing,
turning around etc. ..............
As this child performs the chosen action they sing -
"I can do this Punchanella little fella.
I can do this Punchanella little ones."
The circle stops turning and, when the middle child has finished his/her action and rhyme, they perform the child's chosen action and sing -
" We can do that Punchanella little fella.
We can do that Punchanella little one"

The big ship sails through the eelie ally oh.

THE BIG SHIP SAILS THROUGH THE EELIE-ALLY-OH

The big ship sails through the eelie-ally-oh
The eelie-ally-oh, the eelie-ally-oh
Oh, the big ship sails through the eelie-ally-oh
On the last day of September.

The captain said it will never, never do
Never, never do, never, never do
The captain said it will never, never do
On the last day of September.

The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea
The bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea
On the last day of September.

We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea.
We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea.
On the last day of September.

Game Instructions

The children make a line holding hands, the last one
puts his hand against a tree or against a wall to form an
arch. While singing, the line passes under the arch.The
last in line will be crossed around at this point because
the line will continue to snake around. They'll then go
under an arch formed by the arms of the second to last
child who is making an arch with the last child. They
continue this pattern until everyone's arms are crossed
and the first and last children's hands can join.

They then break off and make a circle and sing the
second verse while shaking their head "no". During the
third verse they crouch and straighten several times.
During the last verse they bend the heads forward as
low as possible.

Not last night but the night before.
Three wee monkeys came to my door.
One with a trumpet
One with a drum
And one with a pancake stuck to his bum.
