When my sister and I were kids in Alberta in the 60’s we used to play a game where we put what we called an”Indian Rubber Ball” in an old nylon and then would stand with our back to the wall of the house and recite:
“Hello, hello, hello SIR.
Can you come out to play SIR?
No SIR.
Why SIR?
Because I caught a cold SIR.
Where did you catch your cold SIR?
At the North Pole SIR.
What were you doing there SIR?
Catching a polar bear SIR.
How many did you catch SIR?”

All the while bouncing the ball from side to side. When we said SIR we had to raise the appropriate leg and bounce under that side. At the end, we would answer the last question by bouncing under our legs as many times as possible. We tried to get higher and higher each time.
