Artful Codger, "kids" to me means children ages 5-12 years. Where I come from, most children who are that age don't have cell phones.

I've observed girls within that age group performing partner, three person, 4 person and group handclaps. It seems that the boys stop doing handclaps around 8 years of age unless its the competitive type handclapping rhymes like Stella Ola Ola [see link above]. Othr than these type of handclaps, boys consider this activity as something girls do.

GUEST 31 Mar 07 - 03:21 AM, here's how I heard a 7 year old African American boy chant the last rhyme you posted
{Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 2004}

Skunk in the barn yard
Pee yew (sp?)
Who did it come from?
from you.

I've also heard the first line recited as "stunk in the barnyard" from the same population age group.

In 2004 my daughter taught 2nd grade. Her student's assignment was to recite a counting out rhyme. The "skunk in the barnyard rhyme" works as a counting out rhyme in that the last line can be given as Y-O-U [with the reciter pointing to a person on each letter].
Used in this way, "Stunk in the barnyard" isn't really a handclap rhyme.

Needless to say, some students in that classroom recited other types of children's rhymes besides counting out rhymes.

And no, I didn't suggest this, but-needless to say- I definitely took advantage of that opportunity to collect more children's rhymes.
