"Lost My Gold Ring"
Biddy, Biddy, hold on,
Lost my gold ring.
I go to Kingston,
Come back again.
GAME
Children sit in circle, with hands and eyes closed: one takes the ring/stick, walking around with it, tapping the closed hands of the players while singing the first line of the song.
While singing: "I go to Kingston," player places ring in another student's hand, that student sings, "come back again." Students guess who has the ring. The correct student becomes the next player.
