Does anyone remember any rhymes they used to use to see who was "it" in tag? ones where you'd put your feet in a circle and go round them like "eeny meeny miney mo...you are not it"?

We always said, while everyone sat in a circle and one person walked around and tapped each person on the head for each word. Then the big debate was who was actually "it". The person you touched when you said "it"? Or the person you tapped when you said "you?" So we decided that after we finished the rhyme, the current "it" would just walk slowly around the group one more time and randomly tap someone and make them it. eeny meeny miney mo, catch a tiger by the toe if he hollers, let him go, eeny meeny miney mo and you are not it!

I vaguely remember one we did as kids that began, "My mother and your mother were out in the yard, hanging up the clothes. My mother hit your mother smack in the nose. What color was the blood?" (Person counter ends on picks a color, counter spells it) "And you are not it." It seems like "My mother said to pick the very best one and you are not it," was stuck in at the end of a lot of the counting rhymes we did as kids.

jonny ate a booger and it tasted like sugar what color was it? (i.e. purple) p-u-r-p-l-e spells purple and you are NOT it. johnny ate another and it tasted like butter what color was it? (i.e.) b-l-u-e spells blue and you are it. something fun that i would do when i was in charge of say the rhyme. when ever someone said the color i thought of before had that person would be it. and my friends knew that tip--make sure you tell them or they will be maddd =) HAPPY RHYMING!!!!

I only know the classic original version of the Chicago Eeny Meeny Miney song: Eeny Meeney Miney Moe Catch a tiger by the toe, If he hollers let him go Eeny Meeney Miney Moe. The person who "Moe" lands on is "IT". I'm ashamed to remember that this was in the early Fifties, when the song really used a different word instead of "tiger". It's horrible to think it was acceptable back then and nobody thought anything of using the "n" word in that song. I'm embarassed to just think about it! It was long before the Kennedy, King, and Malcom X era, that changed things so dramatically, thank God.
