Your needle had no thread Azizi. When we played that game (in the 50's in London at adult supervised family or childrens parties)we held a thread (well,ok then a loop of string) with a curtain ring threaded onto it. This was passed from hand to hand and the one in the middle had to find the ring. I don't remember a chant though. "Queenie, queenie who's got the ball Is she big or is she tall Is she fat or is she thin Is she like a rolling pin" must have been for a different game, maybe we stood in a line and someone stood in front with her back turned and threw the ball over her shoulder. Funny the way memory works, I can't really remember playing it, only the rhyme. Must be losing the thread
