Write all of the children's names on index cards and place them in a basket. Sit in a large group circle and pass the basket from one child to the next when the music begins. When the music stops, whoever is holding the basket pulls out a card and reads the name on the card. The class repeats the name, clapping out the number of syllables as they say it: “Mor-gan” (two claps), “Em-i-ly” (three claps). Continue with the music until all names have been pulled from the basket.
