Childhood Games You Probably Forgot About

Be prepared for the blast from the past you're about to experience. Remember all those games you used to play on the playground? The jump rope rhymes, the hand games and even the silly dances that you and your friends would do all day everyday? Well, here's a list of some that you've honestly probably forgotten about.


1. Cinderella Dressed in Yella


Cinderella, dressed in yellow,
Went upstairs to kiss her fellow.
Made a mistake
And kissed a snake
Came downstairs
With a bellyache.
How many doctors did it take?
One, two, three, …


2. Concentration

concentration (clap-clap-clap) 64 (clap-clap-clap) no repeats (clap-clap-clap)

or hesitation (clap-clap-clap) I'll go first (clap-clap-clap) and you go second

(clap-clap-clap) topic is....NAMES (you can basically do whatever topic you wanted)


3. Miss Mary Mack


Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.

She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence.

They jumped so high, high, high
They reached the sky, sky, sky
And they didn't come back, back, back
'Til the 4th of July, ly, ly!


4. Down By the Banks


Down by the banks of the hanky panky where the bullfrog jumps from bank to banky

With an eeps oops opsie daisy, that sunk like a hunk of junk ginger ale seven up

splash splash you're out!


5. There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly

There was an old woman who swallowed a fly,

I don't know why she swallowed a fly, Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a spider,

That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,

I don't know why she swallowed the fly,

Perhaps she'll die

(props to you, if you knew all 10 versus)


6. Jupiter Taunt

Boys go to jupiter to get more stupider,

Girls go to college to get more knowledge.


7. "Pizza Hut"

Pizza Hut Pizza Hut

Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut

McDonalds, McDonalds

Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut


8. Little Sally Walker


Little Sally Walker walking down the street

She didn't know what to do so she stopped in front of me

and went "ooh girl do your thing, do your thing now switch"

"ooh girl do your thing, do your thing now switch"


9. Happy Llama

happy llama, sad llama

mentally confused llama

super llama, drama llama

big fat momma llama moose


10. Bubble Gum

Bubble gum bubble gum in a dish. How many pieces do you wish?


11. Down By The Bay

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home

I dare not go

For if I do

My mother will say

"Did you ever you ever see a goose

kissing a moose?"

Down by the bay

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
