Boy, we have these wonderful memories of childhood games but not the recollection of how to play them exactly. I fondly recall playing with the stretchy elastic chinese jumprope and tried searching the Internet looking for some direction on how it was done. I found some sort of essay in some forum that had a pretty good description of what I remember the game to be like. Try www.streetplay.com/discus/messages/75/77.html. It covers the In, Out, Side, On, Scissors, and then “smallies and Widies which I don’t think rings a bell with me.
