Just before I woke up this morning, I was dreaming that I was teaching the great nieces and nephews a jump rope game I haven't done in over 40 years. I am now wracking my brain for the rest of the rhyme.
It goes:

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Turn around
Teddy Bear,Teddy Bear,
Touch the ground

Teddy Bear,Teddy Bear,
(part I forget)
Teddy Bear,Teddy Bear,
(other part I forget)

Teddy Bear,Teddy Bear,
Go upstairs
Teddy Bear,Teddy Bear,
Say your prayers

Teddy Bear,Teddy Bear,
Turn out the light
Teddy Bear,Teddy Bear,
Spell Good Night!

G-O-O-D N-I-G-H-T

Did anybody else play this one and remember all the words? Or have I remembered it all?
And what jump rope games do you remember fondly?

OMG Jan!, have you brought back some childhood memories there because even we used to say that rhyme over here
I'm sure we use to hold hands in a circle and walked around while saying it?.

That's too funny, I was playing jump rope with my nieces last night. The oldest has a really cool rope that you put around one leg then swing it round and round while skipping over it. I think it's called a Twirler or something. Anyways, it was hard!
Then we played with a normal rope and they sang "helicopter, helicopter fly around...helicopter, helicopter hit the ground..." It's been a long time since I skipped rope, let me tell you!

Glad I could help - you wouldn't believe all of the kids stuff I have in my head from reading books over and over and over again.

eg,

I wish a fish could be my pet. I'd keep him fed, I'd keep him wet. I'd fill his bowl up to the rim and all day long he'd dive and swim. I'd feed him food from a little box, I'd watch him play amoung the rocks. Oh how I would love my goldfish so, as round and round his bowl he goes.

Oh man, I used to love to jump rope!!!!

Double Dutch was soooo much fun!!!

And "Yogi" was too. That's the rope you make with elastic bands linked together and you do groundsies, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hips, waist, underarms, necks and over head. I went through tons of elastic bands, LOL

I'm not sure I ever knew the whole Teddy bear one! I did know the Cinderella one though!

As for weird dreams, last night I was on a big boat in it's swimming pool. I was also trying to avoid one of my students who was also on the boat. I think that means I need a vacation.
