Hold hands in a circle and skip to the left. At the word, "BOOM", change directions and skip the other way. Repeat three or four times.
Sally, go round the sun,
Sally, go round the moon,
Sally, go round the chimney pots
Every afternoon.
BOOM!
Version for babies:
Adults walk around in a circle holding babies, bouncing in time with music.
Lower baby to floor on "boom".
For a second verse (where you lift the baby up in the air), see a version by Kathy Reid-Naiman on the CD Sally Go Round the Sun : songs and rhymes from the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program, opens a new window (JCD CS REI S02).
