This game originated from the Biokovo region in Croatia
pipavice pipa odmora domora tare tarezija cokac bokac navojsku pipipipipipipipipipipipi

This game is played with five fingers on each hand – each finger had a name corresponding to each word and the last finger, the small one has the highpitched sound of pipipipippipipipipi. Apparently the words themselves are nonsensical and have no real meaning, The fun of the games is in the sounds of the words and the rhyming nature – it is meant to be said very quickly so that the words run over the top of each other

A sailor went 2 ccc 2 c what he could ccc but all that he could ccc was da bottom of da ccc

Two kids sing the following whilst making playing a clapping game: A sailor went to sea, sea, sea, to see what he could see, see, see to see what he could see see see but all that he could see, see, see was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea. Every time the word 'see or sea' is sung each kid salutes (3 times)
