Reading this brought back amazing memories – my 5 and 6 year old daughters have been learning some jumprope/hand clapping rhymes and I was trying to teach them some I remembered from my youth – this helped me fill in a lot of holes. Some I remember but didn’t see here are: So-So and So-So Sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G First comes Love Then comes marriage Then comes So-So in a baby carriage Sucking his thumb Wetting his pants Doing the hula hula dance! Does anyone remember: Oh I wish I was a little bottle of Coke (repeat) I’d go slurpy, slurpy, slurpy and make everybody burpy Oh I wish I was a little bottle of Coke Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap (repeat) I’d go slidey, slidey, slidey, under everybody’s nightie Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap Oh I wish I was a little piece of glass (repeat) I’d go cut-ty, cut-ty, cut-ty, and make everybody bloody Oh I wish I was a little piece of glass etc. I know there were more verses, the elementary school kids used to sing it on the bus when I was in kindergarten 1970-71.
How about this one: China man he had a wife wife Let her live such a miserable life life Let her sit at the top of the hill hill Let her roll like a rolling pill pill Chicka lacka chee chi cho chicka lora Bung lora chiddy witty pack pack Hoco poco hit him in the coco citterbug chitterbug chee chi ccho cho China man he had a daughter…. This went with a hand clapping routine… It had about 5 verses…played it in camp in Quebec,Canada. It was great!
August 2-2000 Update on my comments of 6-30-99 In the time since my last comments on the subject of jumping or skipping rope & my web site being named jetomatic.com on matters of the jump rope & my product of a water spraying automatic jump rope that requires no hands to spin the rope & is regulated by a means to controll the speed of the rope, I woul”d like to ask your visitors to your site to look at my site that has pictures & explanations of & give me their opinions as to what they think of this unique one of a kind toy.

Thank You Site once again is jetomatic.com the E.mail address is . This is a secured site Ernest Craven.
I remember throwing the ball against the wall and catching it, then throwing against the wall and letting it bounce once. We would throw the ball and have to spin around once and catch it. I also remember an under the leg throw. Maybe we did throw and clap before catching it on one. I wish I could remember it more clearly! For how much we played this I really should remember!
I have been trying to remember a similiar spaldeen game to Russian 10, however, the rules I remember are a little different: 1 – one (throw ball and clap once) 2 – twos(throw ball and clap twice) 3 – threes (throw ball and clap 3x) 4 – highzies (throw ball up high) 5 – lowzies (throw ball low) 6 – around the world (throw ball and roll arms) 7 – touch my shoulders 8 – touch my toes 9 – under your leg then you do it in combination. Anyone know anymore or how the “song” goes?
Rules For Russian Ten: 1- Throw against the wall and catch 2- bounce on the ground and catch 3- clap and catch 4- roll your hands and catch 5- under your leg and catch 6- clap over and under your leg and catch 7- clap in front and back and catch 8- turn(back towards wall) throw, turn around and catch 9- hit the spot where the wall meets the floor and catch 10- place hand on wall, toss ball under your hand and over the top and catch
