I have never taught preschoolers, but I do work with Kindergarteners. Just before our Spring break, we sang the "Ringlein, Ringlein, du musst wandern" song (except we played with an Osterei). After learning the song, we sat around in a circle, one person in the middle. The outside circle passed the ring/egg around behind their backs, keeping it hidden from the person in the middle. They also tried to trick the person in the middle by passing "fake" eggs--just pretending. At the end of the song, everyone stops and keeps their hand behind their backs. The person in the middle gets 3 guesses to find out who has the ring/egg. The kids loved this game, and really got into it.
