SCHOOL

THIS IS PLAYED BY STARTING OUT IN KINDERGARTEN, SIMPLY
RUNNING THROUGH THE ROPE, WITHOUT JUMPING. THEN THE JUMPING
BEGINS. FIRST GRADE IS ONE JUMP, SECOND GRADE IS TWO JUMPS,
ETC. UNTIL YOU REACH TWELFTH GRADE. THEN THE ROPE IS TURNED
BACKWARDS, AWAY FROM THE
JUMPER AND HE GOES THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN, THIS
TIME STARTING FROM TWELFTH GRADE AND FINISHING WITH
KINDERGARTEN.
AT ANY POINT IN THE GAME, A MISS MEANS THE JUMPER MUST START
ALL OVER FROM THE BEGINNING.
