I pass this shoe from me to you, to you
I pass this shoe and do just what I do.

 

Actions
Everyone sits in a circle and removes one shoe which they place on the floor in front of them. On each beat of the song (pass, shoe, you, you, pass, shoe), pick up the shoe in front of you and plonk it down in front of your neighbour - the sound of the shoe hitting the floor should be on the beat.

This works until the end - at "do just what I do" pick up the shoe in front of you and KEEP HOLD OF IT. On the first "do" tap it on the floor to your right, on "what" tap it on the floor to your left and on the final "do" tap it to the right again.

Of course at the end each person should be holding one shoe and there should be none left over... but somehow it never seems to work that way.
