Question

Answer 1

I can't remember the words but what about:
Knees up Mother Brown...we used to play 2 ball whilst singing that

Answer 2

Errrm, do you know - I've forgotten most of the words to these 'songs' as well..........there is one that I can remember, probably 'cos there's not too many 'words' to it :

1, 2, 3 alery,
4, 5, 6 alery,
7, 8, 9 alery,
10 alery catch the ball (where you caught the balls in one hand & then 'repeated' the rhyme).

If I think of any more I'll add them later :)

Answer 3

I remember playing it all I can remember of the rhyme I used to say was the end something about round the world and back againand you had to twist round and the catch the ball

Answer 4

Flashback city here! We used to play a game called seven up. on turn one you bounce the ball once hit the wall and catch it...round 2 it bounces twice before the wall then catch it,. I remember one is you toss it under your right leg, but I am sure you can make your own up.

Answer 5

you hit the wall once ,then twice, then three times, the n with your right hand ,then with your left hand ,then under your right knee ,then your left knee, and then this is the hardest bit you throw the ball against the wall you TURN RIGHT AROUND AND CATCH THE BALL ON ITS RETURN ,I CANT REM THE NAME I PLAYED IT 50 YEARS AGO .
