i remember when we were in school thats all we would do at recess. you could buy them or make your own! best game ever!
Ditto! "In, Out, Side, Side, Step, In, Out!" I have a bunch of rubber bands on my desk, I think I need to make one. Oh, and we used them to do cat's cradle too...
Yes, I remember these! Mostly used ours for Cat's Cradle.
"2,4,6,8,in,out,on"
Every recess like in 1st and second grade I think--Singles and doubles right....in-in-out-out-side-side-side-side-in-out -on...ankles, knees - and thighs.
We used to play this at school, but only when I was in elemetary school. I don't think my classmates enjoyed it as much as I did.
Mine was used for cats cradle most of the time too
I was just makinf this for my daughter. 2, 4, 6, 8, out, in, out, on. ankles, knees, and thighs
Oh my gosh! I LOVED CHINESE JUMP ROPE! I'm busting up over here with everyone that said, "2, 4, 6, 8, out, in, out, on" and "ankles, knees, thighs". Haha! I remember being the Chinese jump rope nazi yelling, "YOU TOUCHED!!!"
I used to play this non-stop even by myself with two chairs at home holding the jump rope and I remember having to repair many chinese jump ropes. Ours would have knots all along them. The rubberband ones would hurt the little girl hairs on your legs if you missed the "on" part. Ouch.
oh i remember the days. i wish i could find one again i would buy it and get all the adult women outside playing lol
I used to play with my sisters.
OMG! These were the sh-T. We used to play ALL the time. These were so many different levels and they all had names. I don't remember what any of the names were, or the jumping steps to them. I kinda rememebr the first level. And there seemed to have been one called the froggie...lol
I was addicted to this game! I'm trying to figure out all the different levels. There is regulars, skinnies, fatties, scissors. I know there are more but can't remember.
I played as a kid on the school bus! My daughter and I are trying to remember how to make the "broom"... If anyone knows will you please comment? Thank you :)
HAHA! OMG I actually googled chinese jumprope and came to this site! Oh the memories...Sheb -Good memory about Regulars, skinnies, Fattsies. I found some online and I am definately getting one for my daughter!
My mom made one out of elastic wastebands from white bike shorts. Then you lifed up a chair and put it in the jump rope and lift up another chair and put it in the rope. After that u would pull each end of the rope up the chair leg and position the chairs a few feet apart.
