I LOVE CHINISE JUMP ROLE
I used to play this as a little girl when I lived in South Africa. Now I live in the States and wanted to teach the game to my 5-year old. I did not know that it existed here as well, let alone that it was called Chinese Jump Rope! Reading your article brought back happy memories. Thank you so much for sharing!
My daughters have been playing a plethora of old fashioned games they found in a fairy book. It made me remember "elastics", as we called it, in Adelaide, South Australia. I could remember the first jump, but not all the calls and levels. I am so pleased that I can now teach my daughters the game that I adored as a child.They go to a small country school where the whole school often join in new games that kids bring in - I just know this will catch on.Thanks for the rules.Steph
Thank YOU for the story. The school your kids attend sounds wonderful. :)(And you are most welcome).
My daughter got a new jump rope and it had a alastic rope with it and i did not know what it was for when she asked me. So i asked my wife and right away she knew what it was for but had forgot how to play this game she played as a little girl. Thank you for your instructions
Glad to help. Have fun!
