HOP SCOTCH
TO PLAY THE GAME ON THE DIAGRAM BELOW, (ON 5 X 8 CARD)
THEY TOOK SOMETHING HEAVY, LIKE A ROCK OR A METAL
WASHER, AND THREW IT ON THE NUMBERS IN SEQUENCE.
YOU HAD TO HOP TO YOUR NUMBER AND LAND ON IT, PICK UP
THE OBJECT AND THEN HOP BACK. THEN YOU THREW IT
ON THE NEXT NUMBER IN SEQUENCE UNTIL THERE WERE NO
MORE. WHEN YOU DID THIS WITHOUT DROPPING YOUR MARKER
OR HOPPING ON A LINE, YOU WON. IF YOU HOPPED ON A
LINE OR DROPPED THE MARKER, YOU LOST YOUR TURN.

CHILDREN'S SONG
DID YOU EVER TAKE A WALK ON A HOT SUMMER DAY
DOWN BY THE RIVER JUST TO PASS THE TIME AWAY?
PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKET AND YOUR
POCKETS IN YOUR PANTS, AND WATCH THE LITTLE
FISHEES DO THE HOOTCHIE-HOOTCHIE DANCE.
OH AN OLD CROW FLEW IN A COUNTRY STORE
AND HE PTTTT ON THE COUNTER AND HE PTTTT ON THE
FLOOR, AND HE PTTTT IN THE COFFEE AND HE PTTTT IN
THE TEA. AND IF I HADNA' RUN, HE'D A PTTTT ON ME.
IF FROGS HAD WINGS AND TOADS HAD HAIR
AUTOMOBILES COULD FLY IN THE AIR. IF PUMPKINS
GREW ON WATERMELON VINES, YOU OUGHTA HAVE
SNOW IN THE SUMMERTIME.
