Bungalow

Bungalow

You need to get in a circle for this one, While clapping your hands twice then slapping your knees twice you chant:

"Bungalow, bun-bungalow, bungalow, bun-bungalow" for e.g I'll use the name Stacey, the group will randomly chant out names and the one with the most people chanting it gets picked and then they say "Stacey, Stacey let me see your bungalow!" x2

Then Stacey has to get in the middle of the circle, she chants "My hands are high, my feet are low and this is how I bungalow" before doing any type of dance she wants, then the group go "Her hands are high, her feet are low and this is how she bungalows!" and attempt to copy her dance.

Orange Squash

Keep in mind these are all English rhymes, they might have changed over the years but this is how we played them in my primary school (London, SE)

Orange Squash

(children join hands and run around in a circle)
"Orange Juice Orange Squash, here we go again, last one to sit down has a boyfriend/girlfriend!"

If you were the last one to sit down you have to walk away from the group as they decide who's girlfriend/boyfriend you are. When they decide who they're going to choose you have to walk back into the circle as they circle around you saying for e.g:

"You love Samson you love Samson, stamp your feet if you hate him, hate him, hate him..." obviously if you don't want to be with this person stamp your feet (don't take it personally)

"Brush your teeth if you kiss him, kiss him, kiss him, brush your teeth if you kiss him all day long!..."
Again it's obvious what you do

"Go under the bridge if you marry him, marry him, marry him!"
At this point the circle stops spinning and the boys and girls raise there hands like bridges and you can go under them, sometimes the circle will rush in on you and put there arms [the bridges] over your head.

And that's how you play Orange Squash Childeric Primary School Style!
