Four White Horses
Four white horses, on the river,
Hey, hey, hey, up tomorrow,
Up tomorrow is a rainy day.
Come on up to the shallow bay,
Shallow bay is a ripe banana,
Up tomorrow is a rainy day.
For older children, this can become a hand clapping rhyme. If you have four people, try the instructions below. Otherwise, make up your own clapping game!
Four kids play: Two across from each other.
One pair goes high the other low then they alternate.
Clap partner, clap hands, clap partner, clap hands.
Then alternate. Do this for the first 4 lines.
Then for the last 2 lines – they can go to the side partner – clap side partner, clap hands (5th line).
