Objectives:

Setting:
Stand in an open area facing a partner
Activity:
One person leads and the other follows. Decide which role each of you will
take. The leader moves first for 8 beats, then the follower moves in the same
way. Each verse ends with a traveling movement where the follower imitates
and trails the leader around the room.
Stand facing me; make a shape I can see
I'll do the same; that's how we play the game
Hop up and down, and turn all around
Now watch me do the same thing as you
Now walk where you want to, and I'll follow you
Chorus:
I'm following you
Doing whatever you do
Following you
Following you
Now can you make a part of you shake?v
I'll do it, too; see me shaking like you
Now stretch and bend again and again
I'll stretch and bend like you did, my friend
Now jump where you want to, and I'll follow you
Repeat Chorus
Now can you show me a way to move slowly?
I'll do it, too; just as slowly as you
Now can you pick me a way to move quickly?
I'll do it, too; just as quickly as you
Do anything you want to, and I'll follow you
Repeat Chorus
