There is a toy store in the Pittsburgh International Airport that carries good quality jacks but the ball is a super ball and not the old red rubber ball. My mother was a jack champ in Pittsburgh and she talked about razzies and coggzies, but I don’t remember how to do them. Would appreciate if anyone can help. I would like to teach my grandaughter.
My best friend and I played jacks every day for 2 1/2 years. We were the champs. We would play absolutely anywhere and draw crowds with our special tricks, especially no bouncies. Everyone loved no bouncies. After we got tired of perfecting all the levels (single bouncies, double bouncies, cherries in a basket, pigs in a pen, sheep over a fence, hook the fish, crack the egg, around the world, and no bouncies) we started playing left handed. We still play everytime we see each other, and I still try and teach anyone who wants to learn. We only have 9 levels and are on the look out for a tenth, any suggestions?
To Therese Moller, We used to play “hit the stick” with an ice-cream stick on a daily basis. I taught this to my grandson and he thought it was great.
I am looking for the ending to the rhyme that starts: Not last night but the night before twenty-four robbers came knocking at my door as I ran out they ran in hit me on the head with a bottle of gin it hurt it hurt it hurt all night I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said! Someone please tell me what they said before I go crazy. Thanks
I am looking for the finish to the rhyme that starts: Not last night but the night before, twenty-four robbers came knocking at my door. As I ran out, they ran in. Hit me on the head with a bottle of gin. It hurt, it hurt, it hurt all night I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said! That is as far as I get. Can someone please tell me what they wanted!!!!

This site is the greatest. My cousin and all my friends played skully for hours on end all summer in the 1940s in Manhattan. I taught my grandson how to play, my kitchen table became a skully board. I printed out the rules and board for him to share with his friends. Hopefully, skully will be around forever. We didn’t have any material goods in those days, but life was sweet and we were creative and enjoyed life.
I’m 36 and played skelzies in Greenpoint/Williamsburg Brooklyn in the late 70’s early 80’s. Hours and hours of fun… I made my daughter a skelzies cap today… going out to the playground in the afternoon.
in this game you have to dress people up and stick makeup on them and make the boys look like girls anybody can play it oll you need is old girl cloths and makeup
Down the Mississippi In the muddy Mississippi Where the boats go push (jumper exits and chant starts again when another child begins to jump) Salt pepper vinegar sugar (swinging back and forth) until someone misses then asked which one (if they say pepper then they get a fast overhead rope)
