Singing Games Activity Book - Round De Doo Bop

The "Round De Doo Bop" from the Singing Games Activity Book is a lively and engaging song that comes with its own set of movements, perfect for children to enjoy in a group setting. The activity begins with the children forming a circle while holding hands, with one child acting as the leader in the centre. As the song starts, the group moves to the left, and at the lyrics 'flowers in her hair', all participants stop to mime placing flowers in their hair, while the leader performs a 'senorita-type' dance. The game incorporates various actions that align with the song's lyrics, such as shaking like a milkshake and miming the act of drinking from a can, adding a fun and interactive element to the singing.

During the chorus, "Oh, round de doo bop," the children (except for the leader) spin on one foot, adding a physical twist to the game. They are also prompted to stamp their foot on the word 'one' and clap on 'two', creating a rhythm that matches the song. The repetition of these movements with the chorus adds to the memorability and enjoyment of the game. As the song approaches its end with the instruction to 'turn around and turn around until you make a stop!', the leader covers their eyes and spins, stopping randomly to point at the next child who will become the new leader. This child then moves to the centre to continue the game, ensuring that every child gets a turn to lead the group, making the activity inclusive and dynamic.
