HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players stand apart, each holding one end of the rope, and swing it in a steady rhythm along the ground and up.

2

A third player waits for the right moment and jumps into the swinging rope's path without breaking the rhythm.

3

The jumper keeps hopping in place while chanting a rhyme called out by the group, adding footwork changes on cue.

4

If the jumper's foot touches the rope, they trade places with one of the rope turners.

5

Play continues with jumpers rotating in, each trying to last through more verses than the last.
