Ah, I remember that game – we called it “Swiss Skip”, and was either made from an elastic chain or a single long piece of sewing elastic.

the was one person on each end with the elastic around their ankles. (or, boys called “ever enders -cuz they never played, just stayed on the ends)

the elastic would travel from ankles, kness, under-bums, waists, shoulders necks etc


the team had to go through the series of steps without missing to move the elastic up.

the steps were done to rythms : M I S S I SS I PPI etc.

it didnt’ really matter what you did, as long as you ended without being stuck in the elastic

so it was all in the timing, you could wrap the elastic – cross it, jump on it etc. but, it you meant to jump on both sides, and missed – you were out!

that’s what I remember!
