Dandy Candy
Lemon drops and sugar candy,
Both of these are fine and dandy,
Best of all is cherry pop,
How many jumps before I stop?
1, 2, 3...(Jumper tries to jump as many times as they can until they miss)
Mother, Mother
Mother, Mother, I am ill.
Call the doctor over the hill.
In came the doctor.
In came the nurse
In came the lady
With the alligator purse.
“Measles,” said the doctor.
“Mumps,” said the nurse.
“Nothing,” said the lady
With the alligator purse
Down by the River
Down by the river
Where the green grass grows
There sat.....*
Sweet as a rose.
She sang, she sang,
She sang so sweet,
Along came.....**
And kissed her on the cheek
How many kisses
did she get? 1...2...3...
* name of girl jumping
**name of her boyfriend
Honey Bunch
Ice cream soda,
Lemonade punch,
What's the name,
Of your honeybunch?
A, B, C...
(The letter you miss on is your sweetheart's initial)
