I am trying to remember some songs people used to sing in school., mostly sung to other tunes. I could only remember a few. Isn’t it funny how a lot of the games/songs/rhymes are rather, uh, rude/crude? I think these would get you kicked out if you sang em in school now!! (sung to ‘Joy to the world’) Joy to the world, the teacher’s dead. We barbequed her head! What happened to the body? We flushed it down the potty! And round and round it goes! And round and round it goes! And rou-ound! and round, and round it goes! (Sung to ‘deck the halls’) Deck the halls with gasoliiine! fa la la la la, la la la la Light the match and watch it gleam! fa la la la la, la la la la Now the school is burnt to ashes! fa la la, fa la la, fa la la Aren’t you glad you played with matches? Fa la la la la, la la la la.

I liked this one a lot: Old Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard To fetch her poor dog a bone, But when she got there, The cupboard was bare, So she threw it out the window, The window, the sixteenth-story window, the window, the window, the sixteenth-story window. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack jumped over the candlestick- And fe-ell out the window, The window, the sixteenth-story window, the window, the window, the sixteenth-story window. Little Bo Peep Has lost her sheep, And doesn’t know where to find them; But leave them alone, When they come home, She’ll throw them out the window, The window, the sixteenth-story window, the window, the window, the sixteenth-story window. Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet, Eating her curds and whey; When along came a spider, Who sat right down beside her, She threw it out the window, The window, the sixteenth-story window, the window, the window, the sixteenth-story window. Jack and Jill Went up the hill To fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down And broke his crown, And threw it out the window, The window, the sixteenth-story window, the window, the window, the sixteenth-story window. You can just keep going on like that, a lot of nursery ryhmes will fit into the pattern, just pick any rhyme and stick it in there: Old King Cole, Peter Peter Pumkin Eater, Jack Horner, and etc all will fit in)

The hand motions to say say oh playmate go like this: cross your arms over your chest, then slap the sides of your thighs, then clap twice and repeat until rhyme is done.

Does anyone remember the jump rope rhyme “School” where for each grade you did something different. I remember 4th grade you had to jump in backwards, and I’ve found a couple of places that take you up to third grade. But I can’t find the rest of the grade requirements.

Me and my friends used to play Chinese Jump Rope as kids. Just like a lot of you I am trying to remember the rules. It started out with just the regular jumping In, Out, Side, Side, Ropes, In, Out – Then you had to do variations on that theme, like widezies (ropes spread wide), thinzies (ropes the thickness of 1 ankle), twozies (had to double jump), twirlzies (each time you jumped you faced in a different direction) I know there were more, but I can’t remember them. Once you completed all the variations, you went to thighzies and then kneezies. We never made it past the thighs. If anyone remembers all the variations on this kind of Chinese Jump Rope, please let me know. Also, we never did it with the rhymes. If someone could explain how those go, I would love it.

Does anyone remember the rhyme that begins easy ivy over? I think it says something like Here comes the teacher with the big fat stick, I wonder what she has for arithmetic…but that’s all I remember. Can anyone help me out? I am from NYC now living in Brownsville, Texas where the girls don’t even jump rope by themselves. I am attempting to show them how. I start on Friday. Any suggestions?
