	The Partners. Concluded.
	[Note:—The children should stand in two opposite rows about ten feet apart. When the song begins, the two rows march towards each other. Each child bows to the one directly opposite on meeting, faces in the direction of the march (right or left). The child on the left crosses his right arm over the left arm of the " partner" grasping the right hand of the latter; the child on the right passes the left arm under the right arm of his " partner," grasping the left hand of the latter, and the march proceeds. The game may begin, however, in an informal way, when the children are assembling. Each child then chooses the one nearest, some " natural" leader leads off, and order reigns as by magic]
	109. The Arch.*
	KOEHLER.	Arr. by B. E. H.
	(Note:—At the beginning of the song, to children form an arch through which the remainder march in sin­gle file. When all have passed through the children that formed the arch fall in line at the rear. When the song begins again, the two front children form a new arch, and the game continues as at first.) * From "Songs and Plays for Kindergarten and Family," with permission of Martens Bro's, New York, Publishers.
