    my brothers and sisters The way to play skipping is to get a rope and hold it in your hands and twist it round and jump across it.
    The way to play hopping is to walk on one foot holding up the other foot.
    Oranges! oranges in snow, where does the old crow go, through the east, through the west, through the old crow's nest; hopping in the garden skipping on the trees; if you want a fair maid, just pick me. Then one picks another, until they are all picked but the last and the last is the tig.
