Subject: chinese jump rope?
i just thought of something else as i was scanning through all the old posts, does anyone out there remember chinese jump rope? at least that's what we called it, it was like a giant rubberband that two people would put around their ankles and stand apart , while the other person jump on it in the middle of them, i think it went something like on it , in it, out it, etc. ;D
Subject: Re: chinese jump rope?
I remember those. I wasn't coordinated enough to do it though. :-[

Actually, it was in, out, right, left, in, on, out. We used to play this all the time. I wish I had girls so I could teach them some of these things. Boys just don't get it.

I remember that game (somewhat). I lived in a tropical place and we would loop many rubber bands together to make it long enough and then attach it to two coconut palms! Although I don't really remember the rules, I do know that it was a lot of fun jumping over them!!! ;D

Why were they "Chinese"? ???
Is this one of those "French-fries" type of names?
Subject: Re: chinese jump rope?
Well, I always called this game French skipping. We used to do the same pattern as 80s_cheerleader and raise the height each time you were successful at it. I could never get higher than knees. :(
