One song, many ways:

  • Larger groups of children: Use the stretchy cord or the lycra to swing side to side. When you reach the "over" part - bring the cord or lycra up high and wave it side to side for the second part of the song.
  • Babies: Hold the child on your hip and swing side to side. When you reach the "over" part - swap the child over to the other hip and sway them side to side for the second part of the song.

Lyrics

Bluebells cockle shells, ee-vie eye-vie over,

Bluebells cockle shells, ee-vie eye-vie over.
