was any body out there tought two balls game with two balls against the wall to the rhyme of
ara chickera chihkera rooney rooney pooney ping ping piney alabalarascus chines chinks.
the reason Im asking this is my mum said this is a ditty her grandfather tought her to a game and i cant find an origin

Yes, I think it went something like....

eeny meeny icker acker
Err I dommi nacker
Om pom poof..........

Well, it sounded like that anyway......two balls, two handed.....then you played one against the wall and bounced the other and caught it, and then played two in one hand.......a bit like than anyway.......so many years ago, but we had good fun......x sally

I loved it and we used to play for hours against the coalhouse wall, eventually rising to three balls which we thought was really clever.

Sorry Pamela but don't know your rhyme - the rhyme we had went something like yours, Moonchild -

Eeny meeny macaracker
Err I dominacker
Chicka packa lollipacka
Rom pom push

( not sure about the spellings!)

Those were the days!

Just found my one on google Pamela, I will keep looking to see if I can find yours.....



Eenie meenie macaraca
Dur dur domenaca
Chickawalla lollapoppa
Om pom push

and the counting-out rhyme

Ippa dippa dation
My operation
How many people in the station? ('3')
The one that lands on number three
Will surely not be 'It'.

Thanks, Moonchild.

Knew I hadn't dreamt it!

Goodness knows what it all means.......but when I googled I got lost in all the rhymes we used to chant to the different skipping, tag and ball games we played as kids......x
