Der Fuchs geht um
This is a German game similar to "Duck, Duck, Goose"!
Der Fuchs geht um
The Fox Goes Around

Der Fuchs geht um
Der Fuchs geht um
Es gibt ein schlaues Tier herum
Schau dich um!
The fox goes around
The fox goes around
There's a clever animal round here somewhere
Look behind you!
Game Instructions
The children sit in a circle and one child is the fox going around behind them. The fox drops a beanbag quietly behind one child. It's a surprise when the children turn around; for one to find the bean-bag behind him or her. The "bean-bagged" child then chases the fox, who tries to run around the circle and sit in the "bean-bagged" spot before being caught. An all time favorite!
