Wrote a Letter

Instructions

First, Cubs should form a circle holding hands.  Then choose one Cub to be ‘IT’.  ‘IT’ stands outside the circle and then skips around it (holding the letter) while the circle sings:

 

I wrote a letter to my love, and on the way I dropped it.  One of you has picked it up, and put it in your pocket.  I dropped it once, I dropped it twice, I dropped it three times over.

 

They should carry on singing this rhyme until ‘IT’ quietly drops the letter behind one of the Cubs in the circle.  That Cub then has to race around the circle back to their place (going in the opposite direction to ‘IT’).  The last one back to the open place in the circle is ‘IT’ the next time.
