Song: Dutch Fire Opening
The wood has all been brought,
The fire is burning brightly,
The smoke soars up.
Our circle is completed.
Our campfire is open.
Actions:
The wood has all been brought, - girls all kneel on right knee in campfire circle and hold both hands out, palms up.
The fire is burning brightly, - hold hands out as though warming them at the fire.
The smoke soars up. - rise gracefully to feet, at the same time raising hands slowly to a position straight above heads.
Our circle is completed. - lower hands until they rest around shoulders of the girls on either side.
Our campfire is open. - all turn to the right-pointing with the left hand towards the fire (not straight out from the body but slightly downward, use who hand, palrm turned up slightly.)
