I will never forget my sister trying to teach my girls

1, 2, 3 red peppers.

She was at the house waiting for a boyfriend to pick her up LOL. So here she is teaching the ditty and she was jumping so hard and fast she pee'd her pants LOL.

All I can do is laugh as she had to borrow a pair of underwear and pants from my 12 year old LOL. Good thing she was small back then as she was on the dating days LOL.

Thanks for the memory lane trip. Boy I loved to jump rope. I didn't even need a ditty.

This is so funny! My kids were wanting to jump rope yesterday, but they didn't have one. I told them I had a lot of heavy duty strings that they could use to make one.

They really surprised me.

They came back with a 6 ft braided rope that they had rubber-banded together. Then they had also made a smaller one.

They had so much fun with those yesterday.

And Y'all don't forget this one.....You have to do what each line says while jumping and then at the end you jump out and let someone else take a turn. But, that's if you make it to the end...........

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear turn around
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear touch the ground
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear tie your shoe
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear say "Ha Choo!!"
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear close your eyes
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear reach for the sky
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear go upstairs
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear say your prayers
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear turn off the light
Teddy bear, Teddy Bear say goodnight

We had a little more to the Miss susie/Tiny Tim rhyme:
Miss Susie called the doctor, Miss Susie called the nurse, Miss Susie called the lady with the alligator purse .

In came the doctor, In came the nurse, In came the lady,
With the alligator purse

Mumps said the doctor, Measles said the nurse, Hiccups said the lady With the alligator purse

Miss Susie punched the doctor, Miss Susie kicked the nurse,
Miss Susie thanked the lady with the alligator purse
( Grew up in Philadelphia- maybe that's why we had a viloent ending to this one)




Fortune Teller, please tell me.
What's my sweetheart going to be:
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,
Doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief?
(Keep repeating until you miss. The one you miss on is what you'll marry. I seemed to always miss on Indian chief)

Lemon drops and sugar candy,
Both of these taste just dandy.
Best of all is cherry pop,
How many jumps before I stop?
One, two, three. .


Hello, hello, hello, sir.
Meet me at the grocer.
No, sir. Why, sir?
Because I have a cold, sir.
Where did you get the cold, sir?
At the North Pole, sir.
What were you doing there, sir?
Counting polar bears, sir.
How many did you count, sir?
One, two, three, four, five . . . .


There was another one about a teddy bear. Teddybear teddybear turn around, teddybear teddybear touch the ground. Thats all of it I can remember,though. Which is not too bad, considering it was some 30 plus years ago.

I'm getting old.

ETA: oops, person above me got the teddybear one.

I LOVE THESE.

Dude. Where's my jumprope?!

When I was younger, I had a whole book of these. I'll have to see if I can find it.

Aw, LilBizzy, I'd forgotten that part of it! Hmm... I grew up in and next to Philly too, maybe you've got something there

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

Y'all are too much fun! I had forgotten most of these. Thankfully the dogs can't rat me out. I've been going around the house singing the Miss Susie/Tiny Tim one.
