When you were a child, what was the main method you used to decide who was "it" in a game? Just curious...

(Will add mine when not typing laboriously on a phone.)

"Eenie, Meenie, Miny, Mo" - the non-politically correct version followed immediately by "Ip Dip Sky Blue, Who's it not you (`you' excluded at this point) the one who lands on number eight is it. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8"

I forget what the rhyme was at my school, but that one sounds familiar. Everyone stood in a circle with their feet touching in the middle, and as the rhyme went round you'd remove a foot if you were the one chosen to be out. The last people in were it.
