In and Out The Windows - The Nursery Rhyme Collections

Hi everybody!
My name's Kitty Weaver and I'm from London.
If you're playing the game
windows then form two teams.
One team stand in a circle and make arches with your arms raised in the air.
The second team all stand behind a partner in a circle and then start weaving around underneath the arches.

Come on everybody, join in, let's have some fun!
Go in and out the window,
Go in and out the window,
Go in and out the window,
As we have done before.

Now stand behind
the nearest partner,
raise your arms
and make a new circle of arches.
Now the other team weaves through

Go up and down the staircase,
Go up and down the staircase,
Go up and down that staircase,
As we have done before.

Now this team stop
behind the nearest partner
and make new arches
and the other team
go round and round the villages

Go round and round the village,
Go round and round the village,
Go round and round that village,
As we have done before.

And stop behind the nearest partner
from the other team.
Both turn to face each other
and clap hands together

Stand and face your partner,
Stand and face your partner,
Stand and face your partner,
As we have done before.

Now dance with your partner
and all skip round in a circle
and swing your arms.

Let's have some fun.
Now follow her to London,
Follow her to London,
Now follow her to London,
As we have done before.
Everybody stop!

Turn and face each other
and shake hands
to greet each other
through this next verse

Now shake his hand and leave him,
Now shake his hand and leave him,
Now shake his hand and leave him,
As we have done before.

The first team form
another circle of arches,
the other team weave in and out
as before and
taking in turns to swap over

Go in and out the windows
Go in and out the windows
Go in and out the windows
As we have done before.
Come on!

Go in and out the windows
Go in and out the windows
Go in and out the windows
As we have done before.
Swap over!

Go in and out the windows
Go in and out the windows
Go in and out the windows
As we have done before.

And now take a rest. Come on.
Now face your partner
And do a bow and a curtsey
