I'm so happy you did this video. I used to do most of those hand games in the early 90's. It's nice to see they haven't gone away. I will be teaching them to my daughter. :)
THANK YOU GIRLS SO MUCH!! I am worried that the next generation of daughters will not know these and I have been posting this video to ALL of my female friends, especially the ones with young daughters. This video was so nostalgic for me that I got chills hearing some of these rhymes again for the first time in two decades. ♥♥
Agree - there is no right or wrong.....these are part of the folk tradition of music-making, story-telling, game-playing and dancing. As such, they change and evolve.....Growing up in Chicago, I recognize a number of them as variants on what kids used to do in the 60's and 70's. THANKS for sharing them! As a Black music educator and drum circle facilitator it is so good to see young Blacks beginning to make and share videos like this.
So friggin cool! LOL!! I am 58 yrs old now, but used to luv doing these back in the day in elementary school...living in North Hollywood, Ca. USA! TFS! xo
Reminds me of watching my sisters and cousins when we were kids doing these. Difference is these girls have coordination. Great memories, thanks girls!
THank you so much for posting such a clear video! I was trying to look them up for my daughters and this was the only clear, easy to follow video I could find.
Thanks for posting. Now that I have daughters I want to teach them these songs but my memory is minimal but I do remember this one: "Down by the banks of the hanky panky where the bull frogs jump from bank to banky with a hip hop polly wolly dilly ding DONG.
Wow you took me way back to a better place. I was trying to teach my daughter some songs but couldn't remember them. Thank you both for the video. We love it!
for me it was: my mother ypur mother live across the street. 18, 19 blueberry street. every night they had a fight and this is what they said last night. Boys are rotten made out of cotten, girls are sexy made out of pepsi. Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider, girls go to college to get more knowledge. Mamas having a baby, papas going crazy. if its a boy, ill give it a toy. if its a girl, ill give it a twirl. wrap it up in toilet paper. send it down the escalator. first floor pick up... (sorry i forgot how this escalator part went) hit it with the S S, T T, O O, P P. Now Stop! if you move you get a pop.
Thanks for posting these girls brought me back to my school yard days!!! My boys wanted to know what I used to do at recess when I was young and you girls nailed it!!!
I loved tweet because you could quite literally play with any amount of people if you coordinated it right lolz. We had an extra move when we played with odd numbers. The*under leg clap*
U forgot bubble gum bubble gum in a dish!..but the tweet tweet use to be my fav me n my friend use to have so more an i can't remember...ohh n mr.mailman! Lol..thanks for sharing lady's!

You should really make tutorials for these. Especially for bo bo seantin tatin. I would really like to learn these, but you are going pretty darn fast.(:
IAmLorraineV not only over time, they also change depending on where you lived. It’s like that game whisper down the lane. These games were passed on by word of mouth so there are going to be slight variations.
thanks girls!! i was trying to remember them cuz I was teaching my 7 yr old daughter how to play. great job. she was showing me how they play now and the songs have stuff like kissing boys and says that barney is dumm.
10oughnut Donut nah, I think different places just had different variations. I’m from Philadelphia and some of the motions and rhymes were slightly different for my school.
Throwbacks! Thanks for making this my god daughter was playing with me and I couldn't believe she knew some of these! So I had to do some research and wow so cool thanks girls!
I remember these clapping games we used to do in Elementary . out on recess . but they also had that long Jump rope where you would have to Jump in and start jumping that was hard
I love these! Great job!! my only complaint is to have wished you to have changed the ending of "Chinese Restaurant" so that the stereotyped Asian faces part was excluded or better yet, changed to something that was celebratory and not derogatory. Otherwise, so glad that you shared.
at my school we do 2 versions of shame shame shame the firt one goes ... shame shame shame i dont want to go too mexico no more more more theres a big fat policeman at my door door door he grabed me by my collar then made pay a dollar i dont want to go too mexico no more more more then the second one is .... shame shame shame i dont want to go to mexico no more more more theres a big fat policeman at my door door door he grabbed me by the hips kissed me on lips i dont want to go too mexico no more more more
well the chinese restasurant was how i sang it as a kid... we didnt kno any better back then to kno if we were singing offensive things... but thx for the comments anywho :)
Part 2 of my comment Just like the "eenie meenie" rhyme was changed on purpose, that Chinese Restaurant rhyme has been & can be. That said, I congratulate the two girls who made the video for documenting the way the rhymes were when they learned them. It's one thing to document the way rhymes were for the "folkloric record" & another thing to encourage children nowadays to perform them in the exact same way you remember.
I have one for u (mama has a baby daddies going crazy if it’s a boy I give it a toy if it’s a girl I give it a curl if it’s twins I’ll roll em up and throw in the trash 1 don’t stop 2nd don’t stop 3th don’t stop till your hands get hot
i already new sallly walker see...... little sally walker walkin down the street didnt know what to do and stopped infront of me and said hey girl do yo thang hey girl do yo tang now stop....................
I remember one called "Shamu" - 🎵"Shamu, one two three. Shamu, one two three. Shamu from Alabama. Sitting in a rocking chair, eating baby crackers. Tick tock, tick tock bananas. Tick tock, tick tock bananas. ABCDEFG wash that spider off of me. Pussy cat, pussy cat make me freeze!"🎶
Can someone start or finish this.... boys are in the bathroom, pulling down their, flies are in the country, bees are in the park....... etc. I dont remember the beginning but the end is .... boys and girls are kissing in the D A R K dark dark dark? Anyone know it?
I am freakin REMINISCING watching all these videos of old hand games I used to do and I like how everyone has different versions of the same ones too
I'm so happy you did this video. I used to do most of those hand games in the early 90's. It's nice to see they haven't gone away. I will be teaching them to my daughter. :)
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is no wrong, just different versions! Good for you for holding onto these and trying to keep them alive.
I remember these for elementary school
Emilie Strachan don't have a few
