"Dollar, dollar, how I wonder. From one hand to the other. 
Is it fair? Is it fair, to keep that pretty girl standing there?"

Circle game, seated on the floor.  IT is in the center, eyes closed.

Someone has a rock. Everyone puts their left hand on their left knee, palm up, fingers cupped.  In rhythm, everyone puts their right hand to their left hand as if picking up an imaginary dollar, then transfers that "dollar" to the cupped hand of the person on the right.   If there really IS a dollar in that hand, you can transfer it to the next person.  Or not.

(I get the movement started by chanting, "Yours, theirs, yours, theirs..." before starting the song.

IT keeps his/her eyes closed during the first rendition of the song, then opens them and tries to spot the dollar moving around the circle.  IT points at someone, they show their hands.  If the dollar is there, that person becomes IT and the game begins again.
