A classic!

"London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady. Build it up with sticks and stones, London Bridge is falling down."

This traditional nursery rhyme is often recited or sung while playing a game where two people hold hands and form an arch, mimicking the bridge. The game is often played with a ball, where players take turns trying to knock the "bridge" down by running at it and trying to get the ball to pass through the arch. If the bridge falls, the players who were holding hands become the new "bridge" and the game starts again.

The rhyme is thought to have originated in the 17th century, and its meaning is unclear. Some believe it refers to the frequent rebuilding of London Bridge, which was a wooden structure that was prone to damage and destruction. Others think it may be a metaphor for the fragility of relationships or the fleeting nature of life.

Regardless of its origins, "London Bridge is Falling Down" remains a beloved and iconic children's rhyme that is still enjoyed by kids and adults alike today!
