Thread the Needle Game

Expend your energy with this lively version of "London Bridge is Falling Down."

What You Need
  • Nothing
Instructions
  1. Stand several people in two rows, each person holds hands with the player opposite her. The last pair forms an arch with their hands. Then the other players pass under the arch and re-form the two rows.

  2. The game continues at least until everyone has had a chance to form the arch -- but can continue endlessly. While playing, your mock Pilgrims can chant the following:
    "The needle's eye/That doth supply/The thread that
    Runs so true/Ah! many a lass/Have I let past/Because I wanted you."
