[Note to "Number Game;—In the first stanza, the ring represents the forest and one child imitates the bird flying about among the trees. In the second stanza, the ring becomes the border of a lake; the children stooping down close together, some representing bushes, others stones, etc. Two children imitate fishes swim, ming about in the lake. In the succeeding stanzas, similar suitable adaptations take place ] |

4 I am the blue forget-me-not.
The banks of streams my fav'rite spot; I am the color of the sky, Except my round and sunny eye. |
6 I am the sweet perfumed rose.
The queen of every flower that grows; My blossoms show that Spring is past, And the bright Summer come at last. |

5 A thorny bramble bush am I, 7 We children thus the Spring may greet
Swinging my flow'ry branches high; With joy, in all its blessings sweet;
But fruit will come, oh, what a treat, For children's little lives appear
For all of you to pick and eat. Like the first blossoms of the year,
(Note:—A number of children in different parts of the space enclosed by the ring, represent the plants named in the song. There is a "daisy," a "forget me not," a " bramble bush," a " rose." In a large kindergarten there may be several of each kind. The children in the ring sing the first stanza. The "daisy" then sings the second and third stanzas with appropriate gestures, showing the fingers for the " petals," pointing to the "grass, "to its " face," to its green stalk," rolling itself up in a " ball," and unfolding again in the morning. Then follow the other flowers, each with its stanza and suitable gestures. The last stanza is sung by the children of the ring.]
