TRANSCRIPT
The Farmer on the Fields
The children sit in the circle,
like dwarves and they sing:
The farmer is on the fields
The farmer is on the fields,
Hurray, my sweetheart,
The farmer is on the fields.
One child, selected from the very
beginning of the play, walk in the
middle of the circle applauding in
the rhythm of the song. Each of
the following verse is an
opportunity for farmer to choose
a child for every character
mentioned in the song:
He has a wife …
His wife has a child …
His child has a nurse …
The nurse has a kitten …
The kitten has a mouse …
* The play is finished when, in
succession, is included the
final player.
