Leap like a lord over hurdles, join the ladies dancing, help the maids milk a cow, return the partridge to the pear tree, wheelbarrow golden eggs back to Mother Goose, find the calling birds, listen out for the French hens, balance like a swan and play quoits with the five gold rings. Along the way, strike a pose at playful photo opportunities and enjoy festive fun for all the family.
