Thread: help remembering old kid game: easys, clapsies, twirl-a-whirl...

Did anyone ever play this - I cannot remember last lines

you throw the ball against a wall or up - and chant - each thing you have to do when the ball is in the air.


easys - plain throw,
clapsies (clap before catching),
twirl a whirl (roll hands b4 catching),
tabapsies (touch shoulders),
right hand, throw & catch w/ rh
left hand, throw & catch w/ lh
high as the sky, throw high
low as the sea, throw low
touch my knees
touch my toes..

updated: remembered I think finally
touch my heels,
and under it goes ( ended throwing under you leg)

you go until you miss a catch. if playing with a partner its their turn when you lose.
playing alone start over.
master round 1, double then, triple each action etc each new round

thx - want to teach grand niece
