How to play
Children follow the leader and walk while listening to the words of the song.
Raise arms and make climbing motions for the mountain part.
Crouch and walk low for the valley part, shading eyes to look into the village.
If your legs or arms get tired, rest them but keep walking.
The leader should make interesting paths that are curvy or zig-zag.
Set Up for Success
Line up without touching for this follow-the-leader song. Start with the teacher or assistant being the leader. When children are ready, pick one to be the leader and take turns so that everyone gets a chance to lead.
