We used to play with tennis balls throwing them against a wall, saying one, two three o'leary, etc. Can't remember the rest.
We used to say:
Ipsy Gipsy lived in a tent
She couldn't afford to pay the rent
When the rentman came that day
Ipsy Gipsy ran away
then substituted the next move for the last word of each line -
Ipsy Gipsy lived in a skyball (throwing ball up in the air) and so on....
happy days, until someone complained about the thump thump on the wall
