Kangaroo, Skippy-roo

Circle Game

Kangaroo, skippyroo,
Dozing in the midday sun,
Comes a hunter, run, run, run.
Guess who's caught you just for fun.

Game Instructions

The kids sit in a circle and one child goes in the middle and hides his or her eyes. The group sings the song. One kid is chosen as the "hunter" and that kid touches the one in the middle on the back while singing the last line, "Guess who caught you just for fun." Then the child in the middle has to guess who "caught" them.
