最普及的歌唱遊戲是以呼叫及回應的方式進行；這樣一來，即使參加者並不熟悉歌詞內容，也可以多人同時參與；圖片中的家庭共在玩樂；在剪輯內，您可以聽到麥克當勞 (McDonald) 一家正在歡唱「狗身上的跳蚤」(Dog Flea) 。

「狗身上的跳蚤」是一首圍圈歌唱遊戲 (ring game song) ，遊戲進行時，孩子們圍成一圈站立，手牽手把一人圍在圈中；當唱到「我被跳蚤咬了一下」 (dog flea is a bitin' me) 時，站在圈中的必須試著破圈而出，而在同時，圍成圓圈的孩子們則回以「你不能從我這兒出去」 (don't keer caint git outa here) ；最後，當有人破圈而出時，所有的人會開始追逐那個人，直到那個人被抓住為止。

One very popular singing game was the kind with a call-and-response format. That way, the greatest number of people could participate, even if they weren't familiar with the lyrics. Here, an entire family took part in the fun. In this audio clip, you can hear the McDonald family sing "Dog Flea."

"Dog Flea" is a ring game song in which kids hold hands and circle around one person in the middle. That person tries to break out of the circle on the line "dog flea is a bitin' me," and the group responds, "don't keer caint git outa here." When someone finally does break out of the circle, everyone chases him or her until that person is caught.
