Granny's in the Kitchen
Granny's in the kitchen,
Doing some stitching,
in comes the Bogey Man
and chases Granny out.

(On the word out the first skipper (Granny) jumps out and the second skipper (Bogey Man) jumps in. This can be played continuously as Granny can run around the turners and rejoin the line.)

Thanks to J Burt from Crockham Hill CEP for this fantastic skipping rhyme. We think it is great! keep up the goodwork and send us some more.....or how about another verse to this one!!

__________(name) in the kitchen doing a little knitting,

This skipping rhyme was sent in by Katie from St.Mary's N.G.S. Any ideas for a title Katie?


I went down town
I went down town I met miss Brown
miss brown brought a nicle so I bought a pickle
the pickle was sour so i brought a flower
the flower wouldn`t smell so I brought a bell
the bell wouldn`t ring so i began to sing
on the mountain stands a lady who she is I do not know
all she wants is gold and silver all she wants is a nice young man
lady lady turn right round
lady lady touch the ground
lady lady show your shoes
lady lady run right through

This from Jan Brown from Hazelgrove (c1966, pulled down!)....surely not the same lady as featured in the rhyme above, 'I went down town' ;-)
