One child (the "dog") sits with his/her back to the class.  Place an object, like a small block (the "bone"), under the chair.  While the dog is turned around, eyes closed, someone sneaks up, steals the bone and hides it in his/her lap.  Then everyone sings:  Doggy, doggy, where's your bone?  Someone stole it from your home.  Guess who.  It might be you!  The dog gets three guesses.  If the dog guesses correctly, he gets another turn, but if he guesses wrong, the child with the bone becomes the dog.
