Thread Name: Folklore: Do kids still do clapping rhymes?
Subject: RE: BS: Do kid still do clapping rhymes?
Yep, they still do them. Elementary music teachers using the Orff approach constantly monitor the playground for these and use them in the classroom because they are authentic children folk music. I've heard all the ones mentioned so far here in Florida, except for the anatomical references, but I BET a few of the kids know them.

And yes, it seems to be more a girl thing than a boy thing.
