"Your mother, my, mother, live across the way,
1515 East Broadway. Every night, they have a fight,
And this is what they say:
Icka, Bocka, Soda cracker,
Does your mother chew tobacker?"
As a counting out rhyme, yes or no would be
chosen and then spelled out, such as "Y-E-S spells
yes and you are not it."
As a jumprope rhyme, "yes, no, yes, no" would be repeated
until you fell.

For Kindergarten, run under the rope;
for first grade, jump once; for second grade,
jump twice, etc.

A popular jump rope chant in grade school was:
Cinderella, dressed in yellow,
Went upstairs to kiss her fellow.
How many kisses did she get?
The number of kisses was then counted by how many
times the jumper was able to jump without missing.

don't forget the
red
hot
pepper!
Submitter comment:
Two children are turning the rope and one is jumping
in the middle of the rope. When "red hot pepper" is
said, the rope is turned as fast as the rope turners
can possibly turn until the jumper misses.

Clipsie Clapsie
This is a game which is accompanied by a chant.
A ball is thrown up before each verse, and the prescribed
action is performed before catching it. The game was
played with only one ball, so the girls had to take turns.
It was especially difficult because the player had to chant,
clap, and do something all at the same time.
Clipsie, Clapsie
Twirl around Tabactsie
Touch your heel,
Touch your toe,
Touch the ground,
And under you go!

"Say Say O' Playmate
Say say o' playmate come out and play with me. / You and your
dolly three, climb up my apple tree. / Slide down my rainbow, into
my cellar door, / and we'll be jolly friends for ever more, more,
more, more, more.
So sorry playmate, I cannot play with you. / My dolly has
the flu, she spit up on her toe. / Ain't got no rainbow, ain't
got no cellar door. / But we'll be jolly friends for ever more,
more, more, more, more.

The first paragraph is the part the first child would sing
to the other child. Then the second child would reply to the
first paragraph with the answer. This was a hand clapping game
for children to play and also was used sometimes as a jump rope
chant.

C'mon girls, let's have a fight.
Here comes (name of the girl jumping) with her skirt on tight
She can wobble.
She can wibble
She can do the splits.
But she can't close her eyes and jump like this.
