How to use this song with 3 to 5-year olds

In a group, children can walk in a circle, holding hands. Children drop hands and all say ‘One step, two steps…’ then all children tickle the child in front of them under their arms as they say ‘Tickly under there!’ This can be repeated, walking, turning and tickling in the opposite direction.

Round and Round the Garden lyrics

Round and round the garden,

Like a teddy bear,

One step, two step,

Tickle you under there!
