Now we stop. Now we stop. (Students must stop.)
Variation One: Sing as written until students are familiar with the
words and actions. Once students become comfortable, call "Stop!" in different
parts of the song (i.e. "...hop, hop, STOP!"). Students who move after stop
is called are out. Play until only one player remains.
Variation Two: As students grow more accustomed to Variation One,
increase difficulty by calling stop only for part of the class (i.e. "Girls
STOP!" or "six-year-olds STOP!"). In these instances, both students who fail
to stop and students who stop when they aren't supposed to will be out.
