Circle Game:

Ten children (or more) join hands and dance around the FARMER, who stands in the center of the circle as they sing. At the end of the first verse,the FARMER chooses his WIFE, who joins him inside the circle. At the end of the next verse, the WIFE takes a CHILD, and so on, until the last verse when everyone is in the circle except the CHEESE, who stands alone. Whoever ends up being the CHEESE becomes the FARMER for the next round.

Ten Little pigs rolled in the mud

Squishy, squashy sure feels good

The farmer took one pig out

Oink, oink, oink

That pig did shout!

Nine little pigs…..

No little pigs rolled in the mud

They all looked so clean and good

The farmer turned his back and then

They all rolled in the mud again!

The pig in the pen goes oink, oink, oink,………..

The hens in the coop go cluck……….

The lambs on the hill go baa,……..

The ducks on the pond go quack……
