Grand Old Duke of York

 
The grand old duke of York 
He had ten thousand men 
He marched them up to the top of the hill 
And he marched them down again 
And when they were up they were up 
And when they were down they were down 
And when they were only half-way up 
They were neither up nor down! 

Actions: Every time you sing the word "up", stand up. When you
sing the word
"down", sit down. On "half-way up", stand up with knees bent.
Repeat the song a
number of times, getting faster. To totally confuse everyone,
reverse the actions
(e.g. sit down on "up", stand up on "down"!)
