This rhyme was for beginners who could not jump in while the rope was swinging over and over
(Swing the rope back and forth, not over)
Blue bells, cockle shell Easy ivy over
(swing rope over head on over and continue in normal rope swing) (We always sang it with the following rhyme but it can beused with any)
Oh no, here comes Miss Blackwell with her big black stick Now its time for arithmetic One plus one is? (jumper responds) Two Two plus two is? (jumper responds) Four Four plus four is? (jumper responds) Eight Eight plus eight is? (jumper responds) Sixteen Nows its time for spelling Spell cat. (jumper responds) C-A-T Spell dog. (jumper responds) D-O-G Spell hot. (jumper responds) H-O-T
(when the jumper finishes spelling HOT swing the rope as fast as possible till they mess up.) Contributed by Noreen Goodman |
