Sing this song with children holding hands forming a circle. 


 
In and out the dusty bluebells, 
In and out the dusty bluebells, 
In and out the dusty bluebells, 
Who shall be my partner? 
Tappity tappity on your shoulder, 
Tappity, tappity on your shoulder, 
Tappity tappity on your shoulder, 
You shall be my partner. 
 
The children hold hands in a circle and raise their arms upwards to make windows or arches. Then one child is chosen to wind their way in and out of the windows around the circle. On the words “tappity tappity,” the child taps the shoulder of another child who is nearest to them and they join hands and continue through the windows together. The game continues in this way until there is one child left. They can make a bridge against the wall so that everyone can file underneath. The last child left starts the new game. 
This could be done in large group.
