I have just taught our granddaughter, My Mother Said, I last did it circ 1964. I can't remember the clapping sequence. I also performed The Clapping Song. Stepdaughter found an updated version of both. The woke brigade changed Gypsies to fairies. Stepdaughter taught her A Sailor Went To Sea Sea Sea thenfound to my dismay on You Tube,The Birdie Song. The youngest grandchil now loves it so we had to do that every night.I am surprised, well not really that they dont learn anything like this noe. Thank the Lord for us oldied.
 
Remember them. Anyone remember Balsawood gliders where you could move the red clip that the wings were attached up and down the top of the body and they would do loop the loop or other tricks .Hours of fun.
Grandson was given one. 5 quid! Mine came free with cornflakes sometimes, I loved the cornflakes paper they were wrapped in. You weighted the nose with a penny in some.
 
i think we have drifted from toys to games i think the thread should be changed accordingly now by one of our mods
