My niece (10 yrs old) saw a casting agent yesterday that told her they get a lot of calls for children that can double-dutch. She is now interested in learning but we don’t know anything about it. Does anyone here have a recommendation of a movie or documentary featuring jumprope competitions?
Does anyone know a rhyme that starts out: Flea Fly, Flea Fly Flo Ooh atten watten totten and goes on from there–I can’t remember the rest. It’s quite a long tongue twister as I recall–and very fun to clap with. Any versions you remember would be great! Thanks from a music teacher who is collecting some rhymes for my classes.
Does anyone remember “Chinese Jumprope” 3RD grade version back in the 80’s? We used long elastics like 5ft connected around two other persons ankles, and jumped into a large circle and then we did some kind of stepping in and out and jumping over . Does this sound familiar to anyone????

I remember the Jacks games of babies, baskets, barns, upcasts, downcasts – there were also no bounce upcasts and downcasts, and upcast snatchemgrabbers, and downcast snatchemgrabbers….. Anyone remember these? Seems like there were ‘stars’ where you tossed the jack into the air and caught it in your free hand…
