A Tisket, A Tasket

A-tisket a-tasket
A green and yellow basket
I sent a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes, On the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And put it in her pocket
She was truckin' on down the avenue,
Without a single thing to do
She was peck-peck-peckin all around
When she spied it on the ground
She took it she took it
my little yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die
(Was it brown?) no,no,no,no,
(Was it red?) no,no,no,no,
(Was it blue?) no,no,no,no,
Just a little yellow basket
To Play As a Game
Have the children form a cirlce. Give a bean bag or a letter to one child and have that child circle the group as everyone sings. The child holding the bean bag must drop it when the words "I lost it" are sung. Whomever is closest to the dropped bean bag has to grab it and chase the child who dropped the bag. They must 'tag' the child before they complete one full circle chase. It is then their turn to walk around the circle with the bean bag and repeat this sequence from the beginning. Give each child a turn outside the circle and an opportunity to drop the bag on cue and be chased.
