Candace sent me this rhyme with a note, "…a rhyme my mother told me as a child; it had motions…"
Round ball-y, Round ball-y,
Pull the little hair.
Round ball-y, Round ball-y,
One-Stop! Two-Stop!
Tickle Under There!!!
Notes
Kristy wrote: "We are in our 60's now, but when we were children our parents played a slight variation on this song...
Round ball, round ball,
Pull the little hair (same-as your version)
Chug, chug, chug, chug,
Tickle under there!
Parent made a walking motion with their 1st two fingers up to the armpit."
Game Instructions
1. Move your finger in a small circle on the child's palm.
2. Tug lightly at bangs or hair.
3. Move your finger in a small circle on the child's palm.
4. Make a chopping motion with your hand halfway up the
child's forearm, and then at the elbow.
