Jump-Rope rhyme

Blue bells cocker shells

Eevie, Ivy , Over!

Submitter comment:

The two children holding the ends of the rope, sway the  rope back and forth.  The person, who is to juomp, stands alongside of the rope and then those holding the ends of the rope begin to sway it back and forth whie chanting.  They then begin to twirl the rope and the juimper does another rhyme.
