I didn’t learn this song until I was an adult. I was backstage with the cast of the show I was in, and we were all teaching each other fun theater warm-up games. And so I learned “We’re Going To Kentucky.” A real fun sing-along, move-along game for getting the jitters out, getting your energy up and just for having some fun!
I totally forgot about it though, until my sister was visiting and she started singing it to my baby girl. Voila! It all came back to me and I thought it was the perfect song for my video series.
So grab your little one and get ready to march, shake, twist and spin!

Hi Miss Nina, for some reason this song popped into my head this morning, & I googled it. Well I found you. When I was a little girl ( I’m now 53) All the girls at recess would play this game, while singing this song. We made a circle, & before you knew it all the girls on the playground was a part of the game. One girl was in the center of the circle, & as we ended the song, the girl in the middle pointed at someone, & that girl came to the middle, & the first girl would go out. We played almost every recess. 0h what fun! Thank you for the memory. Your videos are so cute! Keep up the good, wholesale traditional fun!
Oh wow! What a wonderful memory to share! Thank you so much for commenting. So many of the songs and videos I do come about because I remember what fun I had with them in school… so glad I could contribute something fun and positive to your day. Have a wonderful one! xoxo Nina
