Go you on the words -- I'm rooting hard for you :-)
The counting rhyme -- I think many counting rhymes are creepy and reach something deep and scary, in a good way. This one has the right kind of metre and the first line is beautifully creepy. Skipping, jumping rope, some kind of intricate thread-the-needle/crack-the-whip game would go to it very well.
