Dear Ridgecliffe, The only circle game I know was done in a circle at girl scouts and it was Right hand palm down, left hand palm u and you slapped the hand of the person on your right( whose hand would be palm up) then slap your right thigh once then slap your left thigh once then slap the underside of your left hand once and the your palm twice. then you reverse the direction. It was sung to Edelweiss, from the Sound of Music. Does anyone remember Quacklidilioso?

Skully is known by many names–the similar sounding variations generally vary by neighborhood, though I certainly heard “skelly” as well as “skully” in the Bronx. I think that the sing-song quality of “skelzee/skelzies” is extended from the original “skully/skelly” in much the same way as people shooting for the the 2-box would proclaim they were “going for twosies.” As Snoop Dogg would say, “by any name, skelzizzle is off the hizzle for shizzle, dizzle.”
