Learn how to play these 6 hand clapping games: "My Mother is a Baker," "Cinderella Dressed in Yella," "Big-Mac Filet-O-Fish," "Elevators," "Numbers," and "I Went to a Chinese Restaurant."
In the 70s we did Cinderella Dressed in Yella as a jump-roping game... I still remember all the words LOL Sweet family and the best instructional clapping game video I've seen.
LOL...at 58 yrs. old, something reminded me of the days back in the 1960's, while in elementary school, living in North Hollywood, Ca. USA. I used to luv playing these, and was quite good at it! I would have loved playing these hand clap games with you Mama! Kudos to you for passing it along to your daughter, and sons. I have only 1 grown son now. Thanks for sharing! xo
My name is Rhonda, I'm a 57 year old grandma that wants to play clap games with my 8 year old granddaughter. I can't remember all the moves, nor all the songs we sang. This is the only song that stuck in my head: My mother and your mother were hanging up clothes, my mother punched your mother right smack in the nose, what color was the blood? I think we then each called out a random color until we said the same one, lol
This was a staple in elementary schools in the 90s. All us girls would spend all our free time, even standing in the lunch line playing these games. Wonderful memories. I looked it up because its been 30 years and I wanted to teach my own children!
Greetings from Indiana! We have 8 sons and 1 daughter ranging from 23 down to 6 all of them were raised playing most of these hand clap games. Our favs are Slide and big Mac fillet o fish.
The song i use for "i went to a Chinese restaurant" Is ..... I went to a Chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of bread bread bread they asked me what my name was and this is what I said said said E-i E-i Nikana Nikana Pom pom poodles my name is freeze
This was so precious to watch and enjoy with my daughter! I was literally here trying to teach them these games, which is how I survived back in the day before having video games and cell phones! Thanks for sharing!
For Chinese resturant I did: I went to a Chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of bread bread bread They asked me what my name was and this is what I said said said My name is I E I E Chicken I Chicken I Pine cone poodles Willy Willy whiskers My name is Choo Choo Charley I know karate Punch him in the stomach Oops I’m sorry I call mama your in trouble I call mama on the double My name is Elvis Presley Boys are messy Sitting in the back seat, Sipping on a Pepsi My name is Chef Cheese!

I am tryna teach my 7 year old cousin these hand games and he keeps on saying “can we do something to make these a little easier” and then he does weird stuff with his hands it is only easy for him. And I only get mad in my mind
Good question - if you mess up at any time during the song or sequence, the punishment is that you have to start over from the top. The goal is to make it to the end of the song or as high as you can get in Numbers.
For Chinese restaurant we did I went to a Chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of bread, bread, bread The lady at the counter was standing on her head, head head I asked her what her name was, and this is what she said said said My name is high low chicken low chicken low High low High low chicken low high

I’m not sure if I am spelling this right but what’s the song that says “go chigo chigo make em clap clap , clap clap” ??
You gotta somehow teach me that one! I don't know it.... doesn't sound familiar. My daughter didn't recognize it either.
Its stella ella ola (also not sure if I spelled that right)
Just found this video and totally subscribed..
That's awesome, Catrina. Thanks! Have fun...
What are the punishment?
Good question - if you mess up at any time during the song or sequence, the punishment is that you have to start over from the top. The goal is to make it to the end of the song or as high as you can get in Numbers.
You forgot Double, Double, This, This, and Miss Mary Mac.
