Groovy - (informal old-fashioned) = impressive because of being fashionable or attractive.
This word was especially popular in the 1960s: a groovy hairstyle

Groovy is referred to when we really like or find something or someone attractive.

Having grown up in the 60s, I well remember �groovy � being used as �cool � is now. So you could have a �groovy chick �, or an outfit could be groovy or even a member of the opposite sex. Ah, those were the days! (Anybody remember Mary Hopkin?) |

Hi Ballycastle:
I certainly remember Mary Hopkins. Yes, indeed, those were the days. Lots of groovy things going on in those days. |

Do you want them to draw circles or dance in circles or run in circles? It depends on what you want them to do. I hope this helps.
