Okay, /jp/. I need some help, and I figured that you guys could help me since you're weaboos.

When I was in grade school I went to a some Japanese immersion school. The idea was that half the classes would be in Japanese and half would be in English, so as little kids we'd grow up learning the language.

I remember some game or something from 3rd grade that I had to do more than once, but I can't remember exactly what it was and it's killing me. It involved 8 people walking in a line to a tune and doing certain movements in an order. The first person would start by doing movement #1, then the first person would move on to movement #2 and the second person would start on movement #1, and so on so forth until everyone had looped through all 8 movements twice. I believe the movements had something to do with the lyrics of the song, but I was so little back then I can't remember.

The picture I've attached are the movements as best as I can remember them. Please mind the shitty paint drawing. I really didn't know any other way to communicate them. I will try to describe them in words too.

#1 The guy bends his knees, and sticks his arms out.
#2 The guy leans back and makes two holes with this arms for the guy behind him to stick his arms though.
#3 The guy finds a thing on the ground, bends over to pick it up, and then eats it or something.
#4 The guy puts his hand to his forehead and moves his head back and forth while looking for something.
#5 and #6 I don't remember.
#7 The guy pretends to pump something up.
#8 The guy is being pumped up by moving his arms up and down.

I remember the tune to this thing as well, but it's late at night and I don't want to hum it on vocaroo because I'd wake my roommate up. If anyone could help me figure out what this thing I had to do years ago is I would very much appreciate it!

Algorith March. Just search it on youtube. There is another one called Algorith Taiso, which is similar. Try that as well.

By the way, I had never seen or heard of this before, but 30 seconds on google and I found it. You need to learn some google skills.

Yes that's it. Thank you so much.
I tried googling it myself, but I apparently am incompetent and don't know how to google search. I tried things such as "japanese 8 person walking game" and "8 person walking japan", but I'd never get anything from that.
