Taking Turns in a Chant

In some chants, one person says a part and then another person answers. It is like a game of catch with words.

The grown-up says, 'Who has the ball? ' You answer, 'I have the ball! ' Then you switch.

Taking turns means you listen for your part and say it right on time, so the chant keeps rolling smoothly.
