4. Feed and come home again.
Game Instructions
Every time you sing the following words, perform the accompanying action…
"Dame": Bend your knees and straighten them again with your hands out as if you're curtsying.
"Lame": Lift your right leg, which should be bent at the knee.
"Tame": Put your hands together out in front of you at waist level.
"Crane": Put your right arm up in the air with your fingers together at a horizontal angle to the hand (to mime the beak).
"Feed": This action is after the crane action above so your arm was already in the air – now put it out and forward as if the "beak" is dipping down to feed.
"Please": Put your hands out to your sides like you're imploring someone.
"Jane": Put your hands below your chin with fingertips touching horizontally.
