Introduction:

This is a song played by children in Israel, along the lines of "Ring Around the Rosie." There are two choices of lyrics, depending upon how comfortable the teacher and/or children are with Hebrew. (Version 1 is sung entirely in Hebrew and Version 2 is sung in Hebrew and English.) In both versions of the song, when you get to "lashevet, lakum" sit and stand according to the directions.

Lyrics:

Version 1: Uga, uga, uga! Bamagal nachuga. Histovevet kol hayom, Ad asher nimtzah makom. Lashevet, lakum! (3x)	We play in a circle. We spin around [the circle] all day, Until we find our spot. Sit [down], stand [up]! (3x)
Version 2: Uga, uga, uga! Bamagal nachuga. Uga is the funny name, Of our little circle game. Lashevet, lakum! (3x)
