Game Instructions
This song is sung while playing a game. The children walk in a circle and then jump up on the command "Hasla hupf" (rabbit hop).
Alternate Game: One child squats down in the middle of the circle and pretends to be sleeping, hiding his head in his hands. The other children walk around the circle and stop at the end of the 4th line. On "Hasla hupf!" they clap their hands, the "rabbit" stands up, hops to another child and they swap places.
