    Here Comes A Blue Bird Through The Win Dow

    This document provides the lyrics and instructions for a children's playground game called "Here Comes a Bluebird". The game involves children standing in a circle with one child on the outside ("the bluebird") who walks in and out of the circle. When prompted, the bluebird takes another child's hand and they dance or gallop together before rejoining the circle. The original bluebird then joins the circle and the new partner becomes the next bluebird. The game originated in America and the color referenced in the song ("bluebird") does not necessarily match the color of the child's clothes.

    Game Directions
    Formation: Standing circle of children with hands joined; one child ("bluebird") on the outside

    Action: Bluebird walks in and out under the arches.


    On "Take a little partner," bluebird takes a partner, and with both hands joined they face each other
    and gallop out through the opening where the child was taken from the ring, and back again,
    or dance the same around inside the ring.
    The original bluebird joins the ring, the partner becomes the new bluebird, and the game is repeated.

    Background Information
    Newell [Games and Songs of American Children, 1883] says the color of the bird is determined by the color
    of the child's dress and the song is changed to "Here comes a red bird," etc., but it is popularly sung "blue bird,"
    without regard to the child's dress. This game probably originated in America.
