You very rarely see kids playing out today. Do you remember any of these games or have they been lost forever? Mrs Smith, a teacher from Cullercoats, kept a record of the various games played by children in the playgrounds, school yards and streets of Tyneside. I went to King Eddies in Shields and our picking song was ‘Eenie meenie, macaraca, air rye dominaca, chicken pokka, lolly poppa, om pom puss, Boy Scout, you’re out, turn your knickers inside out’ 😂. #schoolmemories #tyneside #newcastle #
