How do you play who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?
The game "Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?" From being at primary school, it wasn't really a game but a rhyme children sang on the way and on the way back from school trips. It just repeats it self over and over again.
Lyrics:
"Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar"
---
Actually, it is sort of a game. The kids chant "Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?" and someone names someone. Then the chant changes to include their name. Then the person named denies the accusation by saying "Not me," and the rest ask, "Then who?" So the accused or another names another and it continues, chanting that the newly accused person stole the cookie.
What is the origin of Old king cole?
The origin of the rhyme, Old King Cole, was based off of a real king. He was a Celtic King whom lived in third century AD. He seized a Roman Colony and named the place after himself. The name we know as the town he settled, is Colchester, England. (In Latin, the word for camp was castrum which later became chester in English, thus the name meaning Cole's Camp) His doing of this aroused the popular rhyme:
Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he!
Old King Cole
He sat in his hole
And called for his fiddlers three.
And every fiddler he had a fine fiddle
And a very fine fiddle had he.
"Tweedle-dee, tweedle-dee!" said the fiddler's three!
What nursery rhyme did the line for a penny I'll by your wares come from?

In the rhyme, the obvious reference is to Queen Mary of England, Mary Tudor, who only reigned for Five Years l553-l558, she is popularily called (Bloody Mary) which has been taken way out of context. Her father was Henry Viii, so maybe the hot pepper stuff ran in the family. Her mother was Spanish- Catherine of Aragon, of the Spanish Royal Line.
