How Do You Do, My Partner
Kids do this dance while standing in two rows facing each other in a ring...
How Do You Do, My Partner
Circle Dance
1st child: How do you do, my partner
2nd Child: Very well, I thank you
1st Child: We will dance in a circle
2nd child: Yes, I'll do with pleasure
Both: Tra la la, lalala
Tra la la la la la
Tra la la la la la
Yes, I'll do with pleasure.
Game Instructions
On "Tra la la...." each pair dances around with arms linked at the elbows. They stand again in two rings with those who were inside on the outside and vice versa and go through the song again.
