Mexico Texaco. Does anybody remember that? That was my favorite. Also I remember “Strawberry Shortcake Cream on Top” not “Ice Cream Soda Cherry on Top”. I was jumping rope in New York City in the late 70s. It’s always interesting the different variations of the same games due when and where. My Chinese Jump-Ropes were kinda like bungee cords but I vaguely remember the rubber band ones.

Does anybody remember the clapping game with four girls? It went: Uno, dos-e, tres-e Hit it My mama told me six years ago There was a lady knocking at the door Saying ooh, ah, I want a piece of pie The pie too sweet, I want a piece of meat The meat too… I can’t remember the rest of it. Also there was another game where everyone stood in a ring, one hand upturned over the person on one side of you, the other hand under the upturned hand of the person on the other side of you. YOu would slap the person next you’s hand who would slap the person next to her. It would proceed around the circle until the last word of the song. The person taht got slapped at the last word would be out of the game. I can’t for the life of me remember the nonsense rhyme that went with it, though. Eenie…something? Does anyone remember this game? It was a lot of fun. Sometimes we had ten people playing this game at once.

For Fortune Teller origami, you fold a square piece of paper in half and in half again, making 4 little squares. Opening the piece of paper and using the 4 little squares as a guide, you make a smaller square (or a diamond) by bringing each of the four corner to the middle. Then you turn it over (to the flat side)and bring each corner into the middle again, making a smaller square. When you turn it over, you should see 4 square flaps. Fold in half, square flaps out. Slip your thumb and index fingers under the 4 square flaps, push together like a fortune cookie and voila! foturne telling game. On the inside where the triangles are, write numbers on each half of triangle. Open triangles and write fortunes inside. Kinda hard to describe. Would be easier to show you but if you get a piece of paper and follow along, you ought ot be able to get the idea. I think there used to be a rhyme that went along with the fortune telling game but I don’t remember that now.

Miss Lucy had a baby, his name was tiny tim she put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. he drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, he tried to eat the bathtub but it wouldn’t go down his throat. Miss Lucy called the doctor, Miss Lucy called the nurse, Miss lucy called the lady with the alligator purse. “Mumps” said the doctor, “chicken pox” said the nurse, “nothing” said the lady with the alligator purse. Miss lucy punched the docter, miss lucy kicked the nurse, miss lucy paid the lady with the alligator purse.

I thought I should come back and put this in the right section. It was originally in Running Around. There are some responses there as well. But this area is definitely more fitting. 🙂 Also, if anyone ever finds a supply of Chinese Jacks for sale, please please PLEASE let us know!!! ——————————————– CHINESE JACKS!!! They’ve got to bring those back!!!! I spent almost the entire early 80s playing that game. If you’ve never heard of ’em, they were hard plastic rings, about the diameter of a dime, that came loose in a pack. The rings were split so that you could put the individual colored rings around a center ring. You fretted over the color of the rings in the pack you were selecting and you alternated the colored rings as you put them together to make pretty and unique combos. You would buy more packs to make the jacks denser. Not too dense though! They had to have enough floppiness as to not pop off of your hand and accidentally hit the ground while you were furiously tossing and catching them. If I remember correctly, you ended up with 5 jacks that almost looked sorta like today
