Hello, KittenFu. Welcome to Mudcat!

Thanks for sharing those examples of children's rhymes. Thanks also for including information about how you performed those particular rhymes.

Particularly because Mudcat is an international discussion forum, it's also helpful to include demographical information such as

Where the rhyme was/is performed-(city/state if in the USA, or at least city and country if outside the USA)

When you learned, read, or observed the rhyme (year or decade such as late 1980s or 2003)

Who perform/ed the rhyme (ages and gender/s; I also include race/ethncity because I'm interested in documenting if there are differences between the types of rhymes known by different races/ethnic groups [meaning Latinos in the USA] But most people don't include race/ethnicity in the demographical information that they provide

and

How the rhyme is [was] performed-categories such as hand clapping, circle game, etc

**

Please don't interprete this as a diss. Many people who post to children's rhymes don't include demographical information. One reason for that is after a while we get to know where the other posters live. For instance, I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Susan of DT (the "DT" stands for the "Digital Tradition", a great listing of song lyrics that Susan started and is still compiling) lives in the USA, Mo lives in Great Britain, and if I'm not mistaken Tug the Cox does too.

BTW, Mudcat has a lot of children's rhymes-see this thread and the links to other threads that are listed above it's title.

Children's Street Songs

And that kist isn't even half the number of Mudcat threads on children's rhymes and cheers :o)

Enjoy!
