Chin Chin China Man??

Siogfinsceal

now maybe im just losing it but when we were little there was a big step in the schoolyard and we would play a game stepping up and down off it. The song went something like:

"Chin Chin China man
sitting on the fence
trying to make a dollar out of fifity five cents
he missed he missed he missed like this"

I'd completely forgotten the existence of those elastic things! There was another one we used to say, it went something like "England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, inside, outside, donkeys tails"
Does anyone remember those things that were a ball attached onto a loop that you put around your foot, and you swung it round and hopped over it with your other foot? What were they called?
