Skip to My Lou
Notes: As kids, we skipped rope with 3 or more
by 2 kids holding the ends of a long rope and chanting a rhyme like the one below.
When we chanted "CALLED...", kids would jump in one by one and start skipping.
When we chanted "OUT....", kids would jump out one by one.

The Lady with the Alligator alligator Purse


Mother, Mother,

I hurt my neck.

Send for the Doctor,

Quick, quick, quick.

I drank some water.

I ate some soap.

I sat in the tub,

But nothing fixed my throat.
Called for the doctor,

Called for the nurse.

Called for the lady

With the alligator alligator purse.

In came the doctor.

In came the nurse.

In came the lady

With the alligator alligator purse.

"Mumps," said the doctor.

"Measles," said the nurse.

"Hiccups," said the lady

With the alligator alligator purse.

Out went the doctor.

Out went the nurse.

Out went the lady

With the alligator alligator purse.
