Button, button, who's got the button is a game of ingenuity where players form a circle with their hands out, palms together.
One player, called the leader or 'it', takes an object such as a button (a coin, a marble, etc...) and goes around the circle, putting their hands in everybody else's hands one by one.
In one players hand the button is placed, though the players continue to put their hands in the others' so that no one knows where the button is except for the giver and receiver.
The leader, or all the players in the circle, say(s) "Button, button, who's got the button?" and then each player in the circle takes a guess.
The players respond with their choice, e.g. "Bumpkissessa has the button!"
Once the player with the button is finally revealed, that player becomes the leader and distributes the button to start a new round.
There are other variations of this ANCIENT (as in BC) children's game.
When I was a young lad, we played "harmless" social games.
huh. Never heard of that game. When I was a kid we played harmless games as well. Except Dodge Ball. Some poor kid always ended up with a black-eye or bloody nose playing that vicious game.
