Another comparison of playground counting out rhymes - the only sane way to determine who is 'it'. First a marvellous contemporary one.
Cin : der : ella : dressed : in : yella went : to : the : ball to : kiss : a : fella : by : mis- : take : she : kissed : a : steak : how : many : kisses : did : she : make
the person who is being pointed at shouts out a number. Continue counting around the circle till you get to that number. That person is then 'it'
And a much more preferable one taught to my by my Nanny.
One-ery : two-ery : Zicary : zan : Hollow-bone : crack-a-bone : Ninery : ten : Spittery : spot Must : be : done Twiddledum : twaddledum : Twenty- : One
