Takes some time to explain the actions and phrases, but is a perfect big group game to get the class up and moving after a long period of time seated coding.

Instructions
- Form a circle with the entire group.
- Start with one player, and each player can make any of the following actions:
- Pass it to the player to their left by swinging your right arm in front of you and over your belly while saying “Yee Ha!”, or pass it to the right by doing the same with your left arm.
- Pass it to across the circle by taking a step forward, pointing at who you’re passing it to, and saying “Down Little Doggie!”.
- The active player can say “Round em’ up!” while waving their arm in the air, and everyone has to join the center of the circle, then find a new spot. This player goes again.
- The active player can say “Hoe Down!” while placing their hands on a player’s head who is next to them to skip their turn. This can only be used after a “Yee Ha!” move.
- The active player can say “Dosey Doe!” and everyone finds a partner, hooks arms, and skips around a few times. This player goes again.
- You can add an elimination round where if a player messes up (uses the wrong hand, says the wrong thing), they’re out! The out players can then try and confuse or mess up the game!
