- Skipping:- I play skipping with a piece of rope called a skipping rope. There are two handles on each end of the rope. I can play it two ways.
(1) I catch each end of the handle and I wind it. Then my feet hop or jump over the rope when it hits the ground.
(2) Also I can play it by two other girls play winding the rope and then I play it in the same way as the first way.Snakes and ladders:- You will have to have a different colour for each(continues on next page) - Collector
