Picking Who is IT

---

Most of these ryhmes are used to pick who would be it by making fists and turning them sideways. You would then say the rhyme and hit the other persons fist as well asyours using your chin as the substitute for the fist that you were using.Each fist would be hit once you would say the word and hit the fist atthe same time. One word for each fist. At the end the person whose fistwas hit last is out.  They're totally out when both fists are hit. You can also put feet in the circle and use them instead of fists

Some of the rhymes were:

Blue Shoe	Bubble Gum
Eenie Meenie Meinie Moe	Icka Bicka soda cracker
Inka Binka Bottle of Ink	One Potato
One Two Sky Blue	Skunk in the Backyard

Blue shoe, blue shoe,
How old are you?
(The person told his or her age, and the one saying the rhyme counted
ahead that many shoes, and the ending one was out.  The rhymecontinued
until one person was chosen.)

or

One potato, two potato, three potato, four.
Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more.
(Then the person would remove the fist on the word "more" and the game
would begin again.)

Everyone usually put one foot in and touched it to everyone else. Then
someone would begin counting by singing the tune.
