	148. Direction Game.
	[Note:—When this is used in a ball game, the children at the words, "Up. up," etc, raise the balls held in the right hand; at the words "Down, down" etc., the left hand forms a nest into which the ball gently drops; at the words,"With a wing,"etc., the left arm is laid on the table; at the words "And a wing," etc, the right arm is laid over the left; and at the words, "We let," etc., the head is laid to sleep on the arms, the children softly humming the last strains, when the cuckoo call arouses them. For amotion game without balls the children at the words, "Up, up," raise their arms and let the mobile fingers represent the flying birds; at the words, "Down, down," the fingers of the right hand settle in the nest formed by the left hand. The remainder of the game need not be changed.]
	149. The Bell.
	bim bom, bim bom, bell, bim         bom, bim bom, bim bom, bell. [Note:—A large ball is suspended from the ceiling. Two children are selected from the ring to be bell-ringers; they take their places opposite each other near the ball. As the children sing, the bell-ringers send the ball back and forth, keeping time to the music]
