Submitter comment:
While two peopleare turning the rope, one person is jumping and chanting this rhyme in a sing-song style. When he misses, he must jump again doing the action of the word he missed on. EX: If he missed on
"High" he as to jump while the rope is turning high- rope not touching the ground. "Low" he jumps crouched over. "Jolly"- he turns around while jumping. "Peppers"- the rope is turned very fast while he is jumping.
