I remember a game with two balls (quiet at the back!then there were the ball games

The only rhyme I remember which had to be sung along with all the different ball movements to the tune of "Knees up Mother Brown" was the not hugely imaginative:
Plainies Mother Brown
Plainies Mother Brown
Plainies Plainies Plainies Plainies
Plainies Mother Brown
followed by verses as follows:
Overs Mother Brown etc (you do the overs followed by 2 plainies for the "Mother Brown" bits - is anyone following this? You had to be there!!)
Uppies Mother Brown etc
Downies Mother Brown etc
Stotties Mother Brown etc
and it went on to more complicated moves like under leg stots,stotting and birling round then onto one handed moves...
I can still do this - with balls, satsumas, (not good against walls tho') anything really!! Can even do the one-handed stuff on a good day!
Best wishes
Lesley
later edit: Just remembered - it was called "doublers"
