191. Boat Song.
[Note:—The children, standing in a ring, represent the shore of a lake. Two children in the centre, fac­ing each other, join hands and kneel. They form a boat in which a third child rides. During the singing, the children in the ring, wave their hands rhythmically from side to side to indicate the waves dashing against the shore. The boat, too, rocks rhvthmically while the "passenger" rows.
The game gains by original accessions. Thus the passenger visits the kindergartner.who has a menagerie, a garden, a park. They take walks and converse on a variety of topics. Friendly messages are taken home, etc.                                From "National Music Teacher," Per. of L. W. Mason, and Gimi & Co.
