I find this whole genre of activities fascinating and nostalgic. Did you play these when you were little? What do you remember?

Cinderella
Dressed in yella
Went to meet her handsome fella.
On the way her undies busted
How many people were disgusted?
1, 2, 3, 4 . . . (found in Wikipedia)

I remember:

Take me Out to the Ball Game (clapping game)
Not last night but the night before, 24 robbers . . . (jump rope game)
Mary Mack!

. . . and, how come boys didn't do this stuff? I mean--do boys have an equivalent?

besides dodgeball?
