This rhyme used to be chanted by a row of girls (usually) all holding hands. The girl at the beginning of the line would put her arm against a wall or tree, then the girl on the opposite end of the line would have to walk under her arm, with all the others following through. The first girl would end up with her arm crossed over her body.

Next, the line would go under the arm of the girl second from the front and so on, until all of them had their arms crossed and hands still clasped.
