Copy LinkStand in a single circle. While you sing, pass a stick around the circle. One student is outside the circle holding a pair of cymbals. When the outside student crashes the cymbals, the person who is holding the stick is "out" and becomes the next cymbal crasher. If two people have hands on the stick, they are both out and share the cymbal crashing responsibility jointly. If someone drops the stick, they are also out.
Alternatively: As students go "out" have them go to the Orff instruments and play a C-G bordun with the song.
