Gloucestershire, UK, in the early 1990s...

A couple of 'choosing' rhymes that haven't been mentioned here. We'd use them to work out who was going to be 'on' in another game.

eeny meeny miny mo,
catch a tigger by its toe
if it squeals, let him go,
eeny meeny miny mo.

--

ibble obble black bobble
ibble obble out
turn the dirty dishcloth inside out
O-U-T spells out!

--

One potato, two potato, three potato, four
five potato, six potato, seven potato more!

(I think the person on 'more' would be out..)

--
(some lines missing, about meeting someone and being asked:)
tell me the colours of the union jack
red, white or blue?
(person would choose one, and one of these rhymes would be used, then back to the chorus and another choice)
Red is the colour of danger, danger, danger,
Red is the colour of danger, so out go you!
White is the colour of marriage, marriage, marriage,
White is the colour of marriage, so out go you!
Blue is the colour of the sea, the sea, the sea,
Blue is the colour of the sea, so out go you!

Also had a clapping game

I went to a chinese restaurant
to buy a loaf of bread bread bread
He wrapped it up in a five-pound note
and this is what they said said said:

My name is Ben Down [bend down]
Touch your knees [touch knees]
Eyes like a Japanese [make 'slitty eyes', yes we were racially insensitive]
Hair like a billy goat
Show off your petticoat

I can do the tango
I can do the twist [dance]
I can do a handstand
Just like this [do handstand]

Queens go curtsey
Kings go bow
Boys go [kiss kiss noises]
Girls go 'wow!' [lift up skirt]

---

Another clapping game involved two players holding oppsite hands and clapping their other hands together, above [on 'high'] and below [on 'low'] and on top of [on 'chicka'] their joint hands.

high low chicka low
chicka low high low
high low chicka low
chicka low high!

I'd love to know what that means!
