Children sit in a semi-circle, with crossed legs, on the floor.
They must put their instruments in front of them on the floor without playing them while you instruct each instrument group what to do. Finally, rub the backs of the tuna cans together. I hold up one finger of my left hand when I want them to brush the cans across each other, then two fingers of my left hand when they are to swirl the cans together around in a circle. Row, row, row your boat brush cans across each other Gently down the stream brush cans across each other Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily swirl cans together around in a circle Life is but a dream.
