Ping Pong (Tuneless Song)
(source: "Campfire Activities", Girl Guides of Canada, 1993.)

Thanks to my good friend Leslie Bown for reminding me of this one!

The song:

i LIKE to SING a TUNEless SONG,
a TUNEless SONG is NEVer WRONG,
i ALso LIKE to PLAY ping PONG.
Ping PONG!!

This tuneless song is done fairly slowly. As you have probably guessed, there is no tune. It is all monotone, with the emphasis on the syllables that are in capital letters. However, when you hit the word "ping" you sing it a couple of notes higher and raise yourself slightly out of the chair or off the ground.

To do this as a round, you start the first person off with "I like", and then the next person comes in when at the same time that the first person said to. So you can hear lots of "I like" when the song is starting up.
