Anyone remember any daft playground rhymes/ songs???

[skyep]

I use to play a game with a ball against the wall. Throwing it round your waist was ' round the world' ect..
What was the rhyme to that hand thing you did when you all had to show your hands together?
Some rhymes just didn't make sense, I have one in my mind, but I don't know if I've imagined it, or whether we actually said it, but even so it don't make sense!

[skyep]

Keep it clean lol!!!

[weeal]

hi sky
I'm struggling to remember all the rhymes, it was sooooo long ago, will need to get my thinking cap on

[4getmenot]

there was some crap like Be Be my baby, I cannot not marry you because I;ll get the flu and I cant remember the rest

[unrulyjulie]

we used to do the rhymes when we were skipping, (cant remember any now though , too long ago) and we used to walk round the playground, linked arms, saying "who wants to be in our gang, no boys allowed" pathetic really lol

I used to love doing the handstands, knives, forks spoon spin! Anyone remember that? oh if only i could still do em ! What fun i could have !

[weeal]

remember elastics? you had to put them at ankle height, then knee, then hip, then underarm and jump in/out of them and twist yer ankle singing "Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales - Inside, Outisde, Monkeys Tails" lol

[skyep]

Hi weeal/4get/unruly lol!
There's no way I'd play elastics with you weeal, you'd probably cross them on purpose and get my ankles all tied up!
The one I partly remember is I think for the hand game where you pull your hand from behind your back and make scissors or something else. But I'm not saying as I think I 've got it really wrong and it sounds quite rude lol!!

[weeal]

you are cheeky, i am only a wee girly and not rough at all lol

Paper, Scissors, Rock that game but didnt know there was a rhyme, bet u just made it up ya nutter

There was one rhyme we all used to sing when we got an apple.
"Annie Apple, Lemon Tart, tell me the name of my sweet heart". And then you had to twist the stalk of the apple until it broke off, and each twist you shouted a letter of the alphabet, and the letter it broke off on was the first letter of your future lover's name!!

[skyep]

Awww Mandamoo! What happened to all our innocence eh lol! xxx

[Mandamoo]

And hand clapping songs....

See see my playmate
I cannot play with you
because I've got the flu
chicken pox and measels too
Slide down the drainpipe
And down onto the floor
Where we'll be jolly good friends forever more
more
shut that door
slide down the drainpipe
once more.

haha, what a load of nonsense. It all sounded very good with clapping though. I can remember loads more too!! x

All in together girls,
