MoreThese fifty song-plays have been chosen from a great number because of their adaptability to class-room and playground conditions; they also afiford a large amount of vigorous exercise in proportion to the small amount of singing demanded. London Bridge and games of similar type, though favorites with the children, have been purposely omitted since they are games in which the amount of singing and exercise is not proportionate. These plays have been used and tested for several years in theN ew York Training School forT eachers, and have been revised to suit school needs. In several of them a change from the original has been made by introducing a chorus between verses so that a vigorous exercise may alternate with a movement more quiet. In a few a slight change in the music has been made where the song covered too great a range for childrens voices. The main object has been to make them singable and practical, and where several versions of the same song-play were found, the one chosen was that which seemed most singable and most capable of a smooth dramatization. An additional index has been arra.-gcd in the order of difficulty, the plays being especially suitable for use in grades lA to 3B mclusive, though they are greatly enjoyed in higher grades and may be used with very good results. Mary A. Wollaston New York Training School forT eachers. A pril, 1917.
