  1. Two children can play this game.
    They join their hands together at their backs, and skip along, saying the following rhyme while they are skipping,
    "Judy and Jack dressed in black,
    Silvery buttons behind her back.
    High, Ho, tipsy toe.
    Turn the ship and away we go."
    When they are saying the last line they turn round, skip back again, and repeat the same words.
