Ye Toop Doram.
This is the name of the song game we're playing in 4th and 5th grade these last days. This is a traditional game from the Middle East. Literally translated the words are I have the rock, and I roll the rock away. It's in a minor key and is very easy to sing being in a different language.
The goal of the game is to not be tagged by the people passing the ball around the circle. One person is inside the circle and are watching the 3 balls be passed around the circle during the A section. During the bridge they count "yek, doh, seh" (1, 2, 3) and then begin rolling. My only rule is that the ball must stay in contact with the floor. They have the B section of the song to try and tag the person out. Instead of repeating the section, they only have the 4 phrases to get them out. This allows the game to move faster and more students to have a turn.
Here's a video of it in action. With only 6 days of school left, the name of the game is Survive and playing games in music class helps the end stay in sight.
