Send for the doctor quick, quick, quick.

Yes my child so don't be crying.
How many hours shall I live.

- 5) I know a Lady,
Her name is Miss,
And all of a sudden,
She goes like this
______________
When she says underlined words she outs skipping rope under one foot then continues letting it under her two feet. - 6) In two's we cross hands and skip together saying
Judy and Jack dressed in Black
Silver buttons behind his back,
Hi, Ho tippety toe,
Twin the ship and away we go. - We face each other and catch hands then shaking arms, and at the same time jumping on toes we say, Shake, shake, the blankets,
Turn the blankets right over.
then keep on saying "right over" until partner lets go hands(continues on next page)
