Stupendous Quotes Quiz - Nursery Rhymes!

Hello, happy quizzers and friends! Welcome to this week's Stupendous Quotes quiz, featuring bits from various nursery rhymes (with perhaps a camp song snuck in). We like being silly and remembering our childhood days, and we hope you do, too. The first line or verse is missing, because we want you to guess the titles. :-) Have fun!

1. "But," said Betty. "This butter's bitter."


2. Along came a spider, And sat down beside her


3. Cracked it open, cracked it open, cracked it open, just now...
It was rotten, it was rotten, it was rotten, just now.

4. Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, How many were going to St. Ives?


5. And the dish ran away with the spoon.


6. The mouse ran up the clock.

7. Jack fell down
And broke his crown


8. Snips and snails,
And puppy dog tails,


9 __________'s child is fair of face

Jana says: This one is in honor of Miss R, who rocks. Jami says: Double points question! Can you guess the blank AND the title of the rhyme? Hint: They are different.


10. He stuck in his thumb
And pulled out a plum,
And said, "What a good boy am I!"
