This is a Scotch game, usually played by girls, but there is no reason
why boys should not play also.
Two skipping-ropes are required. Two players turn the pair of ropes,
holding the ends of both ropes in one hand precisely the same as if
they were turning a single rope, and the third player stands between
and jumps. Whoever is jumper cannot be lazy, as that party has to jump
twice as rapidly as if jumping in a single rope.
