Singing Games Activity Book - Mrs Macaroni

The "Singing Games Activity Book" includes the charming tune of "Mrs Macaroni," a delightful circle game for children. In this game, participants form a circle and select one child to take on the role of Mr or Mrs Macaroni. As the song begins, the chosen child, embodying Mrs Macaroni, playfully skips in the opposite direction to the circle's rotation, mimicking a ride on a snow-white pony. The group sings along to the melody, which tells the story of Mrs Macaroni attending Sarah's wedding day, with lyrics that emphasise the letter 'S' for Sarah.

As the song progresses to the phrase "THIS IS...", the children pause their movement and tap their knees in anticipation, while Mr or Mrs Macaroni decides whom to choose as their partner. Once chosen, the new partner joins Mrs Macaroni in the centre of the circle for a dance, arm in arm. The rest of the children clap and stamp to the beat, singing the chosen child's name to the tune, such as "S, S, S for Sandra" or "P, P, P for Peter." The game reaches a climax on the words "THIS IS.......'S WEDDING DAY," at which point the original Mr or Mrs Macaroni rejoins the circle, and their partner becomes the new centre of attention, taking on the role of Mr or Mrs Macaroni for the next round of the game.
