Brownie Dance
(to the tune of "The Muffin Man")

Thanks very much to Erika, who posted this fun song/game to the Guiding Mailing List!

Everyone stands in a circle. One girl starts in the middle. She skips up to someone and sings:

Do you know the Brownie Dance
The Brownie Dance
The Brownie Dance
Do you know the Brownie Dance that all the Brownies know?

(While she sings she taps her heals forward, and makes the Brownie sign with alternate hands)

The girl she is standing in front of replies doing the same actions:
Yes I know the Brownie Dance
The Brownie Dance
The Brownie Dance
Yes I know the Brownie Dance that all the Brownies know.

They then link arms and skip around the inside of the circle signing:

We all know the Brownie Dance
The Brownie Dance
The Brownie Dance
We all know the Brownie Dance that all the Brownies know!

Now those two girls go up to two new girls and they repeat the first verse and so on, so then there is four dancing in the middle, then there is 8 etc. If they girls are shy, everyone can always sing. And then just the girls in the middle or the ones that are replying dance. This works best in large groups!
