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

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
