I remember going to slumber parties and doing the water thing but also doing all the eating of junk food that you didn’t get to do at home. They were some of the best times. I also had one friend who had the best parties and her bedroom was the whole upstairs of her house. It was a great time and we never got bothered by her mom as long as we were quiet. Those were great times but it was sad to hear a couple of Christmas’ ago she was in a terrible accident with her grandma and was killed. I have fond momories of her. Slumber parties are something that you should make sure your daughter have! Thanks for the site and making me remember.
Thanks for insight on all…

This sounds impossibly difficult. I am sure I would be tied up in knots. I love hearing all the talk about chinese jump rope, always hoping I will hear the description of the game we played as children called chinese jump rope. I have come to the conclusion that anything exotic was called chinese. I went to school in China Town New York City and never played any exotic elastic chinese jump rope. We did play a game called chinese jump rope. It was a single rope and we jumped over it while turning around all the way up to head height. There was a game with a double rope and I cannot recall it at all. I am pretty sure I posted a similar posting to this much earlier on. Also a posting about chinese jacks.

Hello I have just found your discussion group about chinese jump ropes. Being from Great Britain we used to call this either ” French skipping ” or ” Elastics “, However I can only remember one rhymn : Scotland England Ireland Wales Inside Outside Inside Tails Jumping with the elastics like this : ( Left = position of left foot ) etc: Left Elastic Right Elastic Elastic Left Elastic Right Left Elastic Right Elastic Elastic Left Elastic Right Elastic Left Right Elastic Left Elastic Elastic Right Elastic Left Right Elastic Land on the elastics. When this has been completed successfully on ankles, raise the elastics to; shins, knees, bottoms, waists, etc….. If this was not hard enough the ends take one foot out reducing the width… Please have a go and we’ll await the replies. Have fun ! Catriona. P.S. I am a playground supervisor desperate for the revival of old games.

Seems like everyone wants to know the same thing…. what were those rules????? Well it isn’t the rules but it is a great site on “the games we used to play” !!!! http://www.gameskidsplay.net/index.html I still haven’t found the rules but did find this: Like the jump rope used in double dutch this one requires two holders and a jumper. Unlike the tradional jump rope the rope is not in motion but as the jumper jumps in and out the rope is raised until it is finally touched by the jumper. Touching the rope causes the jumper to loose their turn. Happy Jumping!
