Mary in Kentucky BS: Children's games with plants (41) RE: BS: Children's games with plants 06 Jul 05


"Loves me loves me not" pulling petals off a daisy.

There is some kind of woodland plant, similar to the lambs ear perennial, where you press the leaf down toward your boyfriend's house, and if it stays down, he loves you.

We always used clover to make chains.

Then there is the four leaf clover for good luck.

We used various galls to make drumsticks.

We painted our faces with the pollen from daylilies.

The best was to "ride a sappling"...climb a young tree and make it bend over, then straighten up, alternating.

Also swing on grapevines, or make grapevine wreaths.

Drink the nectar from a honeysuckle blossom.
