Procedure
The idea of the game is as follows: One person (leader) presents the text, the rest of the group answers, then some moves are made.
Text
- Leader: Boogaloo!
- Leader: 1, 2, 3, 4
- Group: 5, 6, 7, 8
- Leader Let me see your boogaloo
- Group: What's that you say?
- Leader: Let me see your boogaloo
- Group: What's that you say?
- All: Boo-galoo, boo boo-galoo woo!
- All: Boo-galoo, boo boo-galoo woo!
While saying "Let me see you boogaloo", the leader steps forward and moves his arms to animate the crowd. During the last two lines of the text, all players move towards the center of the circle, hold their arms above their heads and shake them. They also spin around.
Then, the text is repeated (starting from "let me see ..."). However, the "boogaloo" is replaced with something else. Each time, all the previous moves are repeated (for the last two lines).
