You know you're nearing 50 in Adelaide, when you remember...

I can't recall "elastics" - was that a ball game?

I can also recall the girls played a game where they would face each other and sort of clap hands, and sing those songs.

Not a ball game - was long stretches of elastic that you used to have to jump over, into....

FC to thread ??

Sort of - elastic around two girls - a metre or so apart - and a third girl would have to jump over the elastic - what ever task completed the elastic got higher and higher and you weren't allowed to 'touch' the elastic or it was game over for you...lol (I think - it's hurting my brain trying to remember )

I found a picture !!!

Yes, I was an elastics queen.

People always hated playing 4 square with me too, cos I'd spend the whole lunch in King

Clapping games were played the world over. This was the most popular one I remember from school...

Yep, I went to primary school at Henley Primary, and we did this every morning for years. Mainly to "Popcorn" and "Moscow", though. There were a range of activities, and two of the Year 7 girls used to be on the stage leading it in the assembly well.

My favourite was Bad, Bad Leroy Brown - I still do the moves whenever I hear the song They were strangely similar to the "bend and stretch" moves
