Thread Name: Counting Songs
Subject: RE: Counting Songs
An alphabet song we used to use with jumprope and/or bouncing a ball....
"A my name is Alice
My husband's name is Al
We come from Alabama
and we all love Apples

B my name is Barbara
My husband's name is Bob
we come from Boston
and we all love Beans." etc. We also had a counting jumprope/bouncing ball song...I can't remember the beginning verse, but after it, we simply counted from one until a mistake was made. Anyone remember the verse?? Susan A-R...it may have been the one you quoted..but I also seem to remember doing yours by fives instead of from one. Wondering if kids still do this stuff now.
