Thanks for all of the great information. I think I finally have enough information for my Girl Scout Brownie Troop. I have been racking my brain trying to remember how we played Chinese jumprope. It was about to drive me nuts. Thanks for giving me my memory back. At 46 the game was really under some cobwebs!! What a relief!! Now if I could just remember some of the rhymes we sang. All I can remember is:
“I like coffee, I like tea,
I’d like (name) to jump in with me me”
That is when there are two jumpers. Is that Double Dutch? We played this kind of jumprope in Miami Fla in the 60’s.
