Game: Snail, Snail
Song:
Snail, snail, come out and be fed.
First your feelers, then your head.
Then your mama and your papa
Will feed you fine mutton.
How to Play:
- Everyone starts in a large circle, holding hand. The leader drops her left hand so that the person to the left will be the "tail" of the group.
- Start singing the song and walking around in a circle (eveyone holding hands and following the leader).
- Progressively make the circle smaller and smaller so you are spiralling inwards.
- When you can't go any further, the leader takes the two girls behind her and makes them into a "bridge" (with their arms over their heads and hands touching).
- The leader joins her hand to the next girl in line then leads everyone through the bridge and back out through the spiral until you have a large circle again.
- As the last girl passes through the bridge, the girls who formed the bridge join the end of the line.
