Lit tle Rob in Red breast came to vis it me
Game Directions
Children take different shapes, impersonating trees. One child, Robin Redbreast, "flies around"
outside the circle as all sing. On "chirp, chirp, chirparee" he taps the shoulders of three children
in a row in the circle. The third child tapped becomes a robin also. For the next verse, both
robins fly around and tap other children, so that two more become robins. The game continues
until all children have become robins.
