The Farmer in the Dell is easy to play. Sit the kids in a circle and a farmer goes into the center. This is a fun farm song game and it begins by singing this childrens song and following the directions:

The farmer in the dell
The farmer in the dell
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The farmer in the dell
The farmer takes a wife
The farmer takes a wife
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The farmer takes a wife
The wife takes a child (2x)
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The wife takes a child
The child takes a nurse (2x)
The nurse takes a cow (2x)
The cow takes a dog (2x)
The dog takes a cat (2x)
The cat takes a rat (2x)
The rat takes the cheese (2x)
The cheese stands alone
The cheese stands alone
Hi-Ho, the derry-o
The cheese stands alone

When the kids sing, "the farmer picks a wife" the farmer does pick a wife, etc. Until everyone is chosen and the rat picks the cheese...everyone rushes back to their seats in the circle except for the cheese...who becomes the next farmer. It's a fun and simple game for a kids party!
