	Froebel.	120. Skipping.*	Adapted From Koehler.
	But two and two must take their turn,AVhen they skip back, two oth - ers learn. [Note:—The children stand in line facing a free side of the room. When the singing begins, the two child­ren in the middle of the row cross hands and skip in the rhythm of the song towards the opposite wall At the word "wall" they separate, bow to each other, and one skips back to the right end and the other to the left end of the line. In the meanwhile, the line has closed up, and the new couple at the middle has its turn. In large kindergartens, two or more couples may skip each time.] * From "Songs and Plays for Kindergarten and Family," with permission of Martins Bro's, New York, Publishers.
	E. L. H.	121. The Voyage. __________!-	German Air. Ace. B. E. H. i
	[Note:—Especially adapted to large kindergartens. The ring represents the shore. From eight to twelve children represent the ship. One at the prow and one at the helm look and march forward in the course of the ship; the remainder at the two sides look outward and march sidewise. A few children represent crew and passengers. During the first stanza, the vessel moves to the centre of the ring. During the second stanza, it moves to the opposite shore, and passengers and crew disembark. The movement of the ship should be very steady, slow, and rhythmic. Much interest may be added with the help of flags, firing of guns at starting, waving of handkerchiefs, etc. In a small kindergarten, the sides of the room may be the shore, and all the children make up the ship.crew, and passengers.] 105
