This is a great hand game to help two grandchildren settle a dispute - who gets to go first, who gets to sit in the front seat, etc. They jumped so high, high, high They reached the sky, sky, sky And they didn’t come back, back, back ‘Til the 4th of July, ly, ly! Odd or Even She asked her mother, mother, mother For 50 cents, cents, cents To see the elephants, elephants, elephants Jump the fence, fence, fence. Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack All dressed in black, black, black With silver buttons, buttons, buttons All down her back, back, back. Show your grandchild how you used to play! It’s a more complex version of Pat-a-Cake, with knee slaps, pinky hooks, and more. This classic clapping game likely dates as far back as the Civil War, although its exact origins remain a mystery. Play this song and put it all together to the beat! Pat-pat-clap-clap-hand-hand-bump-bump-thumb-thumb! Miss Mary Mack Point your right thumb over your right shoulder twice, then your left thumb over your left shoulder twice.Bump your fists twice, one on top of the other.Wave your hands, one over the other, in front of your chest.Take a trip back in time with this dance craze from the 1950s, made popular again in the late 1970s by the hit movie Grease. Wriggle the thumb end for effect! Dance the Hand Jive Slowly pull your thumb away, making it look like you are dismembering your finger. Now press your hidden right thumb knuckle against your folded left index finger knuckle with the two fingers of your right hand hiding the connection. Fold it down at the middle knuckle as if the top half is gone. Straighten all the fingers of your left hand except the index finger. Tuck the thumb of your right hand underneath your first two fingers so that the knuckle is hidden but the thumbnail is visible. Remember when the best games you could play with two hands required only … two hands? Get the grandkids to put away the handheld video games by playing these mano-a-mano classics.
