Description

This rhyme has been popular on American playgrounds for many years. The song goes back to the 1800s. Children often enjoy a hand-clapping rhythm as they chant the words. You can chant the words with a simple right hand, left hand, both hands rhythm. Or you can let your hands fly with a complex hand-clapping game as you enjoy the rhyme. Just have fun with the words as children have for many years.

This singing game is featured in "Our Star-Spangled Story," a U.S. history curriculum from Notgrass History for students in grades 1 to 4.
