RIDE A COCK HORSE TO BANBURY CROSS

Ride a cock horse
to Banbury Cross,
to see a fine lady
upon a white horse

with rings on her fingers
and bells on her toes
she shall have music
wherever she goes

TWO LITTLE DICKY BIRDS

(moving the right and left small fingers)

Two little dicky birds sitting on a wall,
One named Peter, one named Paul.
Fly away Peter, fly away Paul,
Come back Peter, come back Paul!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

THIS LITTLE PIGGY

(pretend that the toes are the piggies)
This little piggy went to the market.
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way home.

RING A RING O' ROSES

(you "dance it" going round and round- holding hands- and then falling to the floor!)

Ring a ring o' roses,
A pocketful of posies.
ah-tishoo! ah-tishoo!
We all fall down.

10 FAT SAUSAGES

Ten fat sausages, sizzling in the pan,
Ten fat sausages, sizzling in the pan,
And if one went POP!
and the other went Bang!
There'll be eight fat sausages,
sizzling in the pan,
and so on
(and at the end you say)
there are no more sausages sizzling in the pan...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

this is actually a lovely song, but I can't find the music!

AS I WAS GOING TO ST IVES

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives...
each wife had seven sacks,
each sack had seven cats,
each cat had seven kits,
Kits, cats, sacks and wives...
How many were there, going to St Ives?

going to work TaTa..

 

Well, if fish can have fingers.

 

I like the logic

 

I know it as "tiger". However, we used it to count someone out, and I didn't know the last 2 lines you gave.

 

mrs mariah peed on the fire
the fire was to hot so she peed in the pot
the pot was to round so she peed on the ground
the ground was to flat so she peed on the cat
and the cat ran away with the pee on his back

(not for a seven year old , but my mother had great delight in telling my grandaughter this, as she learn`t it as a child) :rolleyes:

 

Here's another

Archibald, bald, bald,
Kings of the jews, jews, jews
bought his wife, wife, wife
a pair of shoes, shoes, shoes
when the shoes, shoes, shoes
began to wear, wear, wear
Archibald, bald, bald
began to swear, swear, swear
When the swear, swear, swear
began to stop, stop, stop
Archibald, bald, bald
bought a shop, shop, shop
When the shop, shop, shop
began to sell, sell, sell
Archibald, bald, bald
bought a bell, bell, bell
when the bell, bell, bell
begain to ring, ring, ring
Archibald, bald, bald
began to sing, sing, sing
Do Reh Mi Fah So La Tee Doh.

You can tell that some of these have their roots in a bygone age

 

Oh boy, we used to play two balls all the time.
The favourite was:-

(juggling move) at the bus stop,
(juggling move) at the sea,
(juggling move) at the merry go round
one, two three

Then it repeats but with different moves.

The moves were plainsey, under (under leg), tutherunder (under other leg), dropsey, slamsey, upsie, downsie, patsy, tutherpatsy, double patsy, tutherdoublepatsy, one handie, tutheronehandie.

Archibald (see above) worked with two balls as well. On the three repeats, you did 3 of the moves above.

Another was where you had to juggle but do the motions of the poem at the same time.

When I was one
I ate a scone, ate a scone, ate a scone,
When I was one I ate a scone
On a cold and windy morning

When I was two,
I buckled shoe, buckled a shoe, buckled a shoe...

When I was three,
I hurt my knee....

when I was four
I kicked the door...

When I was five
I sat on a hive....

When I was six
I picked up sticks.....

When I was seven
I jumped to heaven...

when I was eight
I shut the gate...

When I was nine
I rached the line

When I was ten
I plucked a hen ....

 

This is one that my dear old Gramps in Wales taught me to skip to when i was A LOT younger:

If i had a Donkey
and he wouldn't go
would I beat him
No, no, no
I'd put him in the stable
and give him some corn
the best little Donkey
that ever was born

I loved that rhyme

 

I loved this one, always made me hungry !

10 FAT SAUSAGES

Ten fat sausages, sizzling in the pan,
Ten fat sausages, sizzling in the pan,
And if one went POP!
and the other went Bang!
There'll be eight fat sausages,
sizzling in the pan,
and so on
(and at the end you say)
there are no more sausages sizzling in the pan...


I liked this one too :D

AS I WAS GOING TO ST IVES

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives...
each wife had seven sacks,
each sack had seven cats,
each cat had seven kits,
Kits, cats, sacks and wives...
How many were there, going to St Ives?
