COUNTINGOUT RHYMES

Source: Outdoor Sports and Games
Category: ONE HUNDRED OUTDOOR GAMES



Almost every section has some favourite counting-out rhyme of its own.
Probably the two most generally used are:

"_My mother told me to take this one_,"

and that old classic--

"_Eeny, meeny, miny, mo._
_Catch a nigger by the toe;_
_If he hollers, let him go._
_Eeny, meeny, miny, mo._"

This is also varied into

"_Ena, mena, mona, mite._
_Pasca, laura, bona, bite._
_Eggs, butter, cheese, bread._
_Stick, stock, stone dead._"

The object of a counting-out rhyme is to determine who is to be "it"
for a game. As each word is pronounced by the counter some one is
pointed at, and at the end of the verse the one last pointed at is
"it."
