Form a long line of children, one behind the other. The leader starts
running, and is followed by all the rest. They must be sharp enough to
do exactly as the leader does.
After running for a moment or two in the ordinary running step, the
leader changes to a hopping step, then to a marching step, quick
time, then to a marching step, slow time, claps and runs with hands on
sides, hands on shoulders, hands behind, etc.
Finally, the leader runs slowly round and round into the center, and
can either wind the children up tightly or can turn them on nearing
the center and run out again. For another change the long line can
start running and so unwind the spiral.
