clapping games - patty cake - what's it called & what one's do you remember form your childhood!?

Question

A couple of my kids are trying to do those slap/clap rhymes, but I only remember one (Mrs. Mary Mack) from my childhood. Help me out to remember some of the little rhymes that go along with these games.

what's that one rhyme that that ends with - My name is Chief??? Oh, asking this question is bringing back some many memories, haha :)

Answer 1

There's a good book called "Games Babies Play" which has a lot of those old rhymes. The Wee Sing series also has a book about finger plays, too.

There was a jump-rope rhyme I remember that went:
"Woke up Monday morning
I looked across the hall
The skeeters and the bedbugs
Were playing a game of ball.
The score was 19-20
The bedbugs were ahead
The skeeters hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed.
I'm singing eeny-meeny and a miney-mo
Catch a knicker-bocker
By the toe
And if he holler-holler-hollers
Let him go
Eeny-meeny and a miney-mo."

Chooseing games are fun, too. Icky-bicky-soda cracker, icky-bicky-boo. Icky-bicky-soda cracker, out goes you.

I used to do one..
My mother your mother lives down the street,

and everytime they have a fight,
this is what they say,
Girls are sexy made out of pepsi,
boys are rotten made out of cotton,
insy winsy lolly pop insy winsy woo,
insy winsy lolly pop insy winsy woo,
the boys love you,
and that is true!
