Anyone looking for rules to Chinese Jump Rope could consult a book which gives all kinds of diagrams and all kinds of rules and variations. It’s called “Chinese Jump Rope” by Sheree S. Marty. The publisher is Sterling Publishing Company (New York); publication date was 1994. I found it at the library. By the way, thanks to Jacqui for remembering the name `Yogi’ and “trials… just in case I don’t make it…” — I had completely forgotten about that. The hours we spent playing that game. What a great memory.

My 6 yr old daughter has recently learned string hand games; jacob’s ladder,cat’s whiskers etc… I believe these games are traditional played w/a chinese jumprope. I’ve searched on line and in local toy stores and have come up empty handed. Does anyone know where I may locate a chinese jumprope?

I’m not sure where the game orginates but it was originally played with small smooth stones about pebbles sized and so was called Jack stones. i’ve seen children in Africa playing something like it. You can buy really nice heavy brass jacks from Hearthsong (www.hearthsong.com) The Mother Goose rhyme of Jack be nimble has nothing to do with the game; it’s a riddle and Jack is the flame. Hearthsong also has rules of the game including the fancies. Any one remember how the various fancies are played? I want to teach some to my daughters
