i was born on the west coast of scotland in 1970. we played elastics using the chant: scotland, england, ireland, wales inside, outside, monkeys' tails. the 'playmate' chant was used for clapping games: see, see my playmate come out and play with me and bring your dolly too we'll climb the apple tree over a rainbow into a magic land and we'll be best of friends forever more. Does anyone remmeber this chant which was used for ball games?: six white horses in a stable pick one out and call it mabel mabel butter, mabel cheese mable fell and skint her knees i remember the tunes too. i use these when i teach english to children in austria.
