WOW! Today is Easter…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on April 20, 2003 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 14, 2014
Original author: Tasha
 

WOW! Today is Easter and my parents as well as my brother and his wife joined us for dinner. It was a beautiful day outside and we took all opportunities to enjoy it. My daughter, 8, and sister in law decided to play on the driveway with chalk. My dad who was near by decided to reminisce and show my children and us adults (his children)how to play a game he played when he was a child growing up in the Bronx. Not remembering the name of the game, just the basics of it he taught us this really cool game that had us all playing, from my son age 5 to my dad 46. While playing we discussed how it would be neat to recall the exact rules and dimensions of this game as well as learn/remember others. I suggested the internet by searching under street games. We joked and said we could search under “ghetto games” as this is what my dad refered to them as. Low and behold here I am. When everyone left I came online to research the fun game we learned and played today as a family. I am way to excited to call my dad and send him this website. He will be thrilled. He taught us how to make the bottlecaps with crayons as weight and that is how I was able to pinpoint this game we played. Now I know the name and can find out more about it and learn others. Thank you for taking the time to make this site possible. Hopefully others can go back in time like we did and have just as much fun! Tasha O. Albany NY

I remember playing “Alary”….

I remember playing “Alary”. It went one, two, three “alary”; four, five, six, “alary”; seven, eight, nine, “alary”; ten “alary” catch me. With every number you would bounce the ball on the ground, and at “alary” you had to pass it under your right leg. (If you made it without a mistake) Then start over and do the left leg. Then you would do both legs and say “alary, alary” under each leg. I remember doing “a butterfly”, then you would bounce the ball from the outside of your right leg into the middle, move over a bit and then bounce the ball from the outside of your left leg to the middle, you would say “a butterfly” instead of “alary”. One, two, three, “a butterfly”…Then there was “a clapsy” and you would have to clap as you bounced the ball…one, two, three, “a clapsy”. There was “a clapsy” behind your back. I’m sure there were more but I can’t think of it now.

Here’s a rhyme I picked up somewhere: Blue bells, cockel shells, easy ivy over, I met by boyfriend at the candy store He bought me candy, he bought me cake, He brought me home with a tummy-ache… Mama, mama, I’m so sick, Call a doctor, quick quick quick! Doctor, Doctor, will I die? Count to five and you be all right. 1 2 3 4 5 I’m alive!
