JUMP ROPE RHYME
SEE-SEE MY PLAYMATE. COME OUT AND PLAY WITH ME
AND BRING YOUR DOLLIES THREE,
CLIMB UP MY APPLE TREE.
SLIDE DOWN MY RAINBOW,
INTO MY CELLAR DOOR.
AND WE'LL BE JOLLY FRIENDS FOREVER MORE.

JUMP ROPE
DUMB, DUMB DODO CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.
I CAN RUN FASTER THAN (NAME OF PERSON) CAN.
THEN AFTER THE CALLER RECITES THE POEM, THE PERSON
THE CALLER PICKS HAS TO JUMP IN THE ROPE AS MANY
TIMES AS THE CALLER DOES. IF THE PERSON MISSES
THE CALLER PICKS SOMEONE ELSE. IF THE CALLER
MISSES THE PERSON WHO THE CALLER PICKED IS NOW
THE CALLER. IF THE CALLER IS TAGGED BY THE PERSON,
THE CALLER IS OUT AND THE PERSON IS NOW THE CALLER.

JUMP ROPE--HIGH WATER, LOW WATER
THE ROPE STARTS ON THE GROUND AND IS RAISED A FEW
INCHES AFTER EVERYONE HAS A TURN. THE ROPE KEEPS
GETTING HIGHER AND HIGHER AND WHEN YOU TRIP ON
THE ROPE, YOU'RE OUT.

JUMP ROPE--OVER THE MOON
THE ROPE IS SWUNG REGULARLY IN AN ARC AND A PERSON
HAS TO GO THROUGH WITHOUT JUMPING AND THE NEXT
PERSON MUST COME AFTER HIM AND TRY TO CATCH HIM.
THEN ONCE, THEN TWICE, AND SO ON UNTIL ONE
MISSES AND LOSES OR THE FIRST PERSON IS CAUGHT
BY THE SECOND.
