Hold out your hand,and let us see. Which of us two the quick-er *>e.
[Note:—The children stand close together in the ring, hands behind them. One child who is " v ithout a place." walks around on the outside of the ring during the singing of the stanza. At the close of the suvnza, he touches some ones hands. The one who is touched, immediately runs in the opposite direction. The one who reaches the vacant place first, has won the race, and the game proceeds at pleasure.] |

[Note:—Eight children in the centre of the ring represent the sails of the wind-mill. Four join right hands, crossed at right angles. Their left hands are clasped by the right hands of the remaining four children, who stretch out their left hands to represent the sails of the wind-mill. The children in the ring with a graceful fanning motion of the hands indicate the wind which sets the sails in motion. In going around, the four inner children of the "sails," take only half as many steps as the outer ones. At each repetition of the song, the children in the centre change hands, so as to march in the opposite direction.
This and the next number may be used at the tables as a ball song. Each child has a ball which is set into a whirling motion in the rhythm of the song.]
