How well do
you know your playground rhymes?
Prior to the commencement of many
playground games, players must decide who is either 'it' or who belongs to
which team. The process of selection often involves what is known as a 'dip', a
term derived from the most famous of all 'dips', 'Dip-do magazoo, who's it? Not
you'. But, are you a master of the 'dip' or do you think it's just somewhere
for diseases to fester at a party? Find out by completing the following 'dips'.

How did you Score?
Mostly A’s
Not only do you
not know your 'dips', you're not that great at recognising rhymes either.
Mostly B’s
I'd guess that you even use 'dips' to make important life decisions like
whether to take out a pension plan or which brand of coffee to purchase.
Mostly C’s
You're very down to earth. You prefer
to see the world as it is rather than imagine it into a wondrous playground
where optimism and whimsy are your best friends. You're probably an accountant.
Mostly D’s
You may not know
your 'dips' but you do recognise the value of using the amount of syllables in
a poem to bring about random outcomes.
