Thanks to all those who have contributed to this collection.ĮDITOR'S NOTE ABOUT ADDING COMMENTS ON THIS BLOG The content of this post is presented for folkloric and recreational purposes. That's the story behind this blog name cocojams2. That website vanished late October 2014 [!?!) and I am partially recreating its playground rhymes pages from back-up files and from recent internet "rhyme harvesting". Click and either enter that rhyme's name or enter the words "children's rhymes" or "African American rhymes and cheers".Īlso, a number of the examples in this collection were featured on my cultural website that was online since December 2001. Ī number of these rhymes are featured in posts on my pancocojams blog. Read what I mean by "African American rhymes" in the "Hand Clap & Jump Rope Rhymes A, B" page. I'm using the word "rhymes" as a catch-all phrase to mean rhyming verses, cheers, chants, and singing games that are used in children and youth's recreational activities. For instance, I've chosen not to include a number of versions of rhymes that are generally found on other children's rhyme sites. This cocojams2 series on English language hand clap and jump rope rhymes isn't meant to be a comprehensive listing of those rhymes. Unless otherwise indicated, the examples given below were (or "are") "hand clap rhymes". The pages present examples whose "titles" begin with the featured two letters, with the exception of post #11 in this series which features examples whose titles begin with the letters "u" - "z".) This cocojams2 series showcases examples of English language hand clap & jump rope rhymes, with a special focus on examples from African American culture.
