Step-by-Step Instructions

Form a large circle, including yourself.
Demonstrate a series of moves, asking your group to copy you, pointing your index fingers alternately up and down, and to the left and right.
Teach them the following chorus, making the appropriate moves with each line:
“….AAAAND, UP CHIC-A-BOOM, CHIC-A-BOOM, CHIC-A-BOOM.
AND DOWN CHIC-A-BOOM, CHIC-A-BOOM, CHIC-A-BOOM.
TO THE LEFT, CHIC-A-BOOM, CHIC-A-BOOM, CHIC-A-BOOM.
TO THE RIGHT, CHIC-A-BOOM, CHIC-A-BOOM, CHIC-A-BOOM.”
Then, moving into the middle of the circle, sing the following tune as you look directly at one person:
“HEY THERE [enter name,] YOU’RE A REAL COOL CAT.
YOU’VE GOTTA LOT OF THIS, AND YOU’VE GOTTA LOT OF THAT.
SO COME ON IN AND GET DOWN……”
At this point, invite this volunteer into the centre of the circle with you.
Resume singing the chorus, inviting the whole group to sing it with you.
After the chorus is sung, everyone in the middle of the circle invites a new person from the circle to join them.
This chorus and verse routine continues until everyone ends up in the centre of the circle, for one final rendition of the chorus.
