Here's one. Six Hand Reel. The version I know goes

Circle of six, gents to left of their partners.

A1 Circle left and right
A2 Hands across right hand star then left hand star
B1 Couple whose hands are joined lowest, gent pulls (new) partner under and 
through for a swing, then middles, then top
B2 Promenade the circle

I gave it in standard contra phrases, but you might choose to do it unphrased 
with new dancers.
