Stand in a circle facing each other and hold hands. Let the ‘carousel’ go round in both directions, perhaps alternating between high and low positions.

Variation

The carousel can go round in different ways:

As described above, whilst clapping your hands.
As above, but with your backs turned inwards towards the circle.
Form a circle with your faces facing each other. Those standing directly opposite each other swap places (diagonal movement).
After the ski carousel, you can hold hands and form a chain. Walk with long strides, short strides, as small as possible, and as large as possible.
