Step on a crack

Some rhymes we knew as kids still survive to this day. "Step on a crack and break your Mother's back" is one of them. I was shocked to learn that this was something told to children to be careful and not step on the cracks in the street, or they will be eaten by the bears that hang around at the corner and try to eat their lunch as they go by! What rhymes do you remember, and do you know the origin? The answer might surprise you!
