Top Ten Hand Games and Their Songs You Need to Re-learn

Summertime means sun, sand, and school’s out so you’re left with a lot of hours to fill in the day. Good old-fashioned fun is often forgotten about in the race to find the best activity for the day. Favorite songs for hand games and jump rope can pass some time between you and the kids, your brood, or between friends. Not only will they remind you of backyard fun at home, they can also help calmly pass the time waiting on long lines when you are out and about or even make car and plane travel more dealable. So get yourself reaquainted with the tunes and the moves here and here–or search the internet for your oldies.
