Childhood Games You Probably Forgot About

Be prepared for the blast from the past you're about to experience. Remember all those games you used to play on the playground? The jump rope rhymes, the hand games and even the silly dances that you and your friends would do all day everyday? Well, here's a list of some that you've honestly probably forgotten about.


1. Cinderella Dressed in Yella


Cinderella, dressed in yellow,
Went upstairs to kiss her fellow.
Made a mistake
And kissed a snake
Came downstairs
With a bellyache.
How many doctors did it take?
One, two, three, …


2. Concentration

concentration (clap-clap-clap) 64 (clap-clap-clap) no repeats (clap-clap-clap)

or hesitation (clap-clap-clap) I'll go first (clap-clap-clap) and you go second

(clap-clap-clap) topic is....NAMES (you can basically do whatever topic you wanted)


3. Miss Mary Mack


Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.

She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence.

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!


4. Down By the Banks


Down by the banks of the hanky panky where the bullfrog jumps from bank to banky

With an eeps oops opsie daisy, that sunk like a hunk of junk ginger ale seven up

splash splash you're out!


5. There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly

There was an old woman who swallowed a fly,

I don't know why she swallowed a fly, Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a spider,

That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,

I don't know why she swallowed the fly,

Perhaps she'll die

(props to you, if you knew all 10 versus)


6. Jupiter Taunt

Boys go to jupiter to get more stupider,

Girls go to college to get more knowledge.


7. "Pizza Hut"

Pizza Hut Pizza Hut

Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut

McDonalds, McDonalds

Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut


8. Little Sally Walker


Little Sally Walker walking down the street

She didn't know what to do so she stopped in front of me

and went "ooh girl do your thing, do your thing now switch"

"ooh girl do your thing, do your thing now switch"


9. Happy Llama

happy llama, sad llama

mentally confused llama

super llama, drama llama

big fat momma llama moose


10. Bubble Gum

Bubble gum bubble gum in a dish. How many pieces do you wish?


11. Down By The Bay

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home

I dare not go

For if I do

My mother will say

"Did you ever you ever see a goose

kissing a moose?"

Down by the bay

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
