    1. We often play Skipping. It is usually played in Spring and this is how it is done. We get a rope. Two girls are required to twist it and one or more can jump into it. They must have the rope go over their heads and jump them so as to leave it under their legs. If any one of them stands in the rope, they must go out of the skippings and must twist the rope for some one of the sides
