Go In and Out the Window Lyrics

A classic American singing game where children form a circle and one child weaves in and out while others hold their arms up to form arches. Best for ages 3–8. The simple choreography (in, out, around) combined with the rotating leadership (each child gets a turn as the weaver) makes this an excellent introduction to cooperative play and turn-taking — both core social-emotional skills for preschoolers. Excellent for groups of 8+ children.

Go in and out the window,
Go in and out the window,
Go in and out the window,
As we have done before.

Go round and round the village,
Go round and round the village,
Go round and round the village,
As we have done before.

Now stand and face your partner,
Now stand and face your partner,
Now stand and face your partner,
As we have done before.
