The Beanbag Game Song

Pass the beanbag, pass the beanbag,
Around and round, around and round.
Pass the beanbag, pass the beanbag,
And then stop!

Pass it faster, pass it faster,
Around and round, around and round.
Pass it faster, pass it faster,
And then stop!

Pass it slower, pass it slower,
Around and round, around and round.
Pass it slower, pass it slower,
And then stop!

Pass it to the left, pass it to the left,
Around and round, around and round.
Pass it to the left, pass it to the left,
And then stop!

Pass it to the right, pass it to the right,
Around and round, around and round.
Pass it to the right, pass it to the right,
And then stop!

How to Play the Beanbag Game

1. Gather a group of children and a beanbag. You can use a soft beanbag, a stuffed animal, or even a ball.

2. Have the children sit in a circle. The first child starts with the beanbag.

3. Sing the song together. As you sing the song, the children pass the beanbag around the circle.

4. When the song says “stop,” the child holding the beanbag is out.

5. Continue playing until only one child remains. That child is the winner!

Tips for Playing the Beanbag Game

• You can change the rules of the game to make it more challenging. For example, you could have the children pass the beanbag in different directions, or you could have them pass the beanbag over their heads.

• You can also use the song to teach children about different colors, shapes, and sizes. For example, you could have the children pass a red beanbag, a blue beanbag, and a green beanbag.

• The beanbag game is a great way to get children moving and to help them develop their coordination and listening skills.
