It is a game. Players form a circle holding hands around someone who is chosen to be the farmer. The first verse is sung whilst people circle the farmer. When the verse stops the farmer makes a choice for a wife, The wife joins the farmer in the centre and makes her choice after circling and stopping at the end of the next verse...and so on until either the cheese or dog is selected or only one person is left to become the last character. If the cheese is the last character in the circle, the cheese then stands alone
