INFORMATION ABOUT "RIBENA" SOFT DRINKS
Excerpt #1
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribena
"Ribena … is a brand of blackcurrant-based soft drink (both uncarbonated and carbonated), and fruit drink concentrate designed to be mixed with water. It is available in bottles, cans and multi-packs. Originally of English origin, it was produced by the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) until 2013, when the brand was sold to Japanese beverage conglomerate Suntory.

The brand originally had a strong reputation as a healthy product for children, stemming from its distribution to children as a vitamin C supplement during World War II by the British government. Beecham, a company that has been part of GSK since 2000, bought the brand in 1955 and developed many soft drink versions. A series of scandals in the 2000s, concerning vitamin C levels, sugar levels, and the amounts of actual fruit in some of the brands, damaged its reputation as a healthy product, and by 2013, the brand was widely regarded as a soft drink.[1]"...

Excerpt #2
From https://www.suntory.com/brands/ribena/
"Ribena

A favorite in the UK, Ribena is a fruit juice beverage beloved by generations of consumers since it was first released in 1938. Packed with vitamin C and available in a variety of flavors, Ribena can also be found in Africa, Asia, and Oceania.

Ribena is made from 100% British blackcurrants and available in a range of luscious flavors and beverage types, including original and light, so consumers of any age can enjoy fantastic fruity flavors, whatever the occasion.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
"Ribena" is a hand clap rhyme that originated in Great Britain where Ribena soft drinks originated. I'm from the United States and I'm not familiar with Ribena soft drinks or with Ribena hand clap rhymes.

I think that the word "Ribena" is pronounced "rye-BEAN-ah". 

Is this how that word is pronounced?

**

The textual pattern (words) and the tune for the hand clap rhyme "Ribena" is the same as the hand clap rhyme "Lemonade, Crunchy Ice" and the beginning portion of both rhymes are also the same. Click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75Npwwobdqg for a YouTube video of  "Lemonade Crunchy Ice".

WORDS FOR PAPZ14'S VERSION OF RIBENA (HAND CLAP RHYME)

https://www.brightworldguardianships.com/en/guardianship/british-education-system/
"The education system in the UK is divided into four main parts, primary education, secondary education, further education and higher education.

The education system in the UK is also split into "key stages" which breaks down as follows:

Key Stage 1: 5 to 7 years old
Key Stage 2: 7 to 11 years old
Key Stage 3: 11 to 14 years old
Key Stage 4: 14 to 16 years old"...
-snip-
Key Stages 1 & 2 basically corresponds to "elementary" school in the United States. Key Stage 3 partly corresponds with "Middle" (formerly "Junior High ") school in the United States and Key Stage 4 partly corresponds with "High school" which usually extends to age 18 years or possibly older.

"Uno" is an American originated game that is well known in the United States. I've never heard of the game "Dobble" before. I asked my 10 year old granddaughter and she said she hadn't heard of it. I don't know if "Dobble" is known in the United States or not .
