Do you remember Campfire Cheers? They were used to show appreciation (or disapproval in some cases) after a group performed a song, skit or other form of entertainment at a campfire.
Last week, my children were playing with an electronic toy. I’ve been listening to this toy for the past 3 or 4 years. It never triggered anything before, but the other day when it played the tune “London Bridge Is Falling Down”, it immediately brought to mind the campfire cheer that uses that tune to these words: “In the breadbox you must go, you must go, you must go, in the breadbox you must go, that was crummy.”
That was the only cheer I could remember. Does anyone remember more of them?

I remember the watermelon cheer where you'd pretend you were eating a slice of watermelon and then spitting out the seeds. I don't think it was a very complimentary cheer!
I remember the window the window we will throw you out the window if you dont know a nursery rhyme we will throw you out the window.
