Singing Games Activity Book - Round De Doo Bop

The "Round De Doo Bop" is a lively singing game from an activity book that encourages children to engage in music and movement. The song has a catchy melody and simple lyrics, making it easy for children to remember and sing along. It starts with a narrative about going to Kentucky and the fair, meeting a señorita with flowers in her hair, and then moves into fun, repetitive choruses that invite participants to 'shake it like a milkshake' and 'drink it from a can.' The rhythm and pace of the song are designed to keep the energy high and the children entertained throughout the game.

The game is played with children holding hands in a circle, with one child as the leader in the centre. As the song progresses, the children and the leader perform various actions in time with the lyrics. They circle around, mime placing flowers in their hair, shake energetically, and pretend to drink from a can. The phrase 'Oh, round de doo bop' cues the children to spin on one foot, followed by stomping and clapping on the counts of 'one, two.' The game incorporates a fun element where the leader, while blindfolded, selects a new leader at the end of each round, ensuring that the excitement continues and every child gets a chance to lead. It's a delightful way for children to combine music, dance, and play in a group setting.
