GUEST,lynster Help with playing 'Chinese Jump Rope' (59* d) RE: Help with playing 'Chinese Jump Rope' 23 Jul 10


Hi,
I remember playing Chinese jumprope in gradeschool, but we played with a chant that I can't find any mention of anywhere. I can't completely remember it, and would love it if somebody did remember it. It went something like this:
itsie
me
psalm
she
local
?
yahtzee
kill it!
I'm not sure of spelling of above and am spelling as close as I can to how I remember the sound. ? was something like hockel.

I remember the jumps that corresponded to the words:
itsie-straddling the first rope-
psalm--straddling first rope again
she--straddling second rope again
local (sp?)--inside
?--inside, but with legs spread so rope is stretched
yahtzee-inside again
kill it!--on the ropes

Does anybody remember anything like this?
