Bingo Songs

Sing the words to the famous folksong "B-I-N-G-O." Continue in the traditional manner, clapping (not singing) on "B" the second time through, on "B" and "I" the third time through, and so on. Try the Bingo technique on other familiar songs, replacing clapping with words in the song. Each time you repeat the song, clap on an additional word until all the words are clapped instead of sung. Some songs that match this technique are:

*"Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be?" (clapping on "what can the matter be").
*"Are you Sleeping?" or "Frère Jacques" (clapping on "morning bells are ringing").
*"The Old Gray Mare" (clapping on "ain't what she used to be").
*"For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" (clapping on "for he's a jolly good fellow").

Clap another song in the same technique and ask others to try to guess what it is!!!
