Martin Luther King, Martin Luther King, Martin Luther K-I-N-G, Martin Luther King. (2x)

   Justice. Equal rights. Liberty and freedom. He had a dream that "We Shall Overcome!" (2x)

(first line: 33335 33335 33335555 33335)
(second line:  share out, different people speaking each statement.)

"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.

White Sands and Grey Sands

White sands and grey sands. 
Who'll buy my white sands? 
Who'll buy my grey sands?

Sure as the Wind

Sure as the wind, my sisters, and
    Sure as the rain,
Sure as the sun does shine,
    We will raise our song again.
