African-American Children's Game (jump rope)

Mable, Mable set the table
don't forget the
red
hot
pepper!

Submitter comment: Two children are turning the rope and one is jumping
in the middle of the rope. When "red hot pepper" is
said, the rope is turned as fast as the rope turners
can possibly turn until the jumper misses.
