Procedure

In the group, the song "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" is sung. Every time a certain body part is mentioned, this part is touched by all participants.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

The verse is repeated several time. For each repetition:

  • You either sing faster and faster
  • or each time an additional body past is not pronounced during singing. So, when singing the verse for the second time, the word "head" is not pronounced, when singing the verse the third time "head" and "shoulder" are left out, etc. Of course, The melody remains the same, there is just a gap in the text then; the respective body part is still touched!
