Whither now are yon going, to work or to play ? Little Girl.— 'm bound for the school-room, the school-bell is ringing. And I must be learning my lessons to-day.
	[Note:—A '* bee "a " dove" and a little " girl " are chosen. They take their place behind the kindergart­ner. At the beginning of each stanza respectively, the "bee" and the "dove" flies in around the ring. At the replies, they should stop flying. The " flying" of the " bee "is done with the hands; of the "dove" with the ten'arm. The " little girl" carries a slate or book in her hand. The ingenuity of the kindergartner will sug gesl a few gestures, viz. the raking hay, the feeding motion, form a nest, ringing bell, reading from book etc. etc. etc.
