Learn how to play these 6 hand clapping games: "My Mother is a Baker," "Cinderella Dressed in Yella," "Big-Mac Filet-O-Fish," "Elevators," "Numbers," and "I Went to a Chinese Restaurant."
In the 70s we did Cinderella Dressed in Yella as a jump-roping game... I still remember all the words LOL Sweet family and the best instructional clapping game video I've seen.
LOL...at 58 yrs. old, something reminded me of the days back in the 1960's, while in elementary school, living in North Hollywood, Ca. USA. I used to luv playing these, and was quite good at it! I would have loved playing these hand clap games with you Mama! Kudos to you for passing it along to your daughter, and sons. I have only 1 grown son now. Thanks for sharing! xo
My name is Rhonda, I'm a 57 year old grandma that wants to play clap games with my 8 year old granddaughter. I can't remember all the moves, nor all the songs we sang. This is the only song that stuck in my head: My mother and your mother were hanging up clothes, my mother punched your mother right smack in the nose, what color was the blood? I think we then each called out a random color until we said the same one, lol
This was a staple in elementary schools in the 90s. All us girls would spend all our free time, even standing in the lunch line playing these games. Wonderful memories. I looked it up because its been 30 years and I wanted to teach my own children!
Greetings from Indiana! We have 8 sons and 1 daughter ranging from 23 down to 6 all of them were raised playing most of these hand clap games. Our favs are Slide and big Mac fillet o fish.
This was so precious to watch and enjoy with my daughter! I was literally here trying to teach them these games, which is how I survived back in the day before having video games and cell phones! Thanks for sharing!

I am tryna teach my 7 year old cousin these hand games and he keeps on saying “can we do something to make these a little easier” and then he does weird stuff with his hands it is only easy for him. And I only get mad in my mind
Mines is : I went to a Chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of bread bread bread they asked me what my name was and this is what I said said said. My name is ... Chu Chu Troli I know karate punch you in the stomach oops I’m sorry call my mommy, mommy gets sad daddy get mad sissy gets glad if it’s a boy I’ll give it a toy if it’s a girl I’ll give a curl if it’s mix I’ll rap it in toilet paper and throw down it the elevator. Elevator one says stop elevator two says stop elevator three says keep on going till your hands get red and hot.
I love how kids still love these games! They’ve been around for hundreds of years and kids (especially little girls) will spend so much time doing these. Fun!!
Good question - if you mess up at any time during the song or sequence, the punishment is that you have to start over from the top. The goal is to make it to the end of the song or as high as you can get in Numbers.
Wow! I just loved it!!!! I can play with my students!!! I am an English teacher but I am Brazilian and my kids from 3 to 10 love to play clap hands games!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!
@@Lowtechgames It's the same moves but it goes slime yuck yuck and then when you can go to the higgest number you can go and the first person to mess up is the loser and the other person is the winner but there's no other lyrics to it because thats what I grew up with sorry but I hope this helped!😁💖
Cinderella dressed in yellow went to the ball and kissed a fella by mistake. She kissed a snake. This is how we do firetrucks. Have photos of a live in France. Have a fight like a boo-boo boo the boys go there girls go Woopsie’s boys go wow
Sure--here are the lyrics... "Cinderella, dressed in yella, went downstairs to kiss a fella. My mistake, she kissed a snake. How many kisses will it take?"
My version goes, I went to the Chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of bread bread bread the waiter asked me what’s my name and this is what I said said said my name is molly I know karate punch you in the belly oops I’m sorry don’t call my mommy don’t call my daddy don’t call my sister don’t call my brother Chinese Japanese Indian cheese.

I’m so glad you’re keeping this alive. These are games from my childhood from the 70s😅
Yes we all gotta pass the hand clapping games and rhymes we still remember down to the next generations! Like you said-keep ‘em alive!

Bless you Rhonda! Funny thing, I had a best friend named Rhonda in grade school and we used to play these together!
My name is Rhonda, I'm a 57 year old grandma that wants to play clap games with my 8 year old granddaughter. I can't remember all the moves, nor all the songs we sang. This is the only song that stuck in my head:
My mother and your mother were hanging up clothes,

I think we then each called out a random color until we said the same one, lol
ahh the old hand games we played at school during resses :)
So nostalgic, yea? 😁
@@Lowtechgames yep!

I sometimes get mistaken for filipino but I'm Chinese-Hawaiian. Please share the Nanay Tatay song--
I love how kids still love these games! They’ve been around for hundreds of years and kids (especially little girls) will spend so much time doing these. Fun!!
Yes, it's wonderful that some things never change when it seems everything else does!

YES! We used to play these games every day at school too! And yes, we loved it too. 😍
i went to a chinese restaurant was so different when i was younger!
I think you're right but I can't remember how it used to be. This one in the video is my daughter's version. Do you remember how you used to sing it?
@@Lowtechgames I wish i could remember!!!
What are the punishment?
Good question - if you mess up at any time during the song or sequence, the punishment is that you have to start over from the top. The goal is to make it to the end of the song or as high as you can get in Numbers.

So r we all ignore the fact that the boy was in his PANTS in the beginning?!
//hello // we live in Hawaii so it’s pretty common around here not to wear a shirt at home. Sorry if it offended you.
1 2 3 *Claps* 1 1
The elevator game was like the game I play at my school but we do it a bit different and we call it slime yuck yuck
That's cool...what were the rest of the lyrics to Slime yuck yuck? You got me curious... 🤔😜
