How fast this former teacher of fourth/fifth graders, connects “rope” with jump rope! The following passage is an excerpt from my blog “nameless” posted in January, ’17.
Bell rings and children come in with news to share.
“Teacher, we learned a new jump rope tune.”
Cinderella dressed in yella
Went upstairs to kiss a fella
Made a mistake kissed a snake
How many doctors will it take? 2,4,6,8 —
“Teacher, Joe says I’ve got a girlfriend and I’m gonna punch him if he says it again.”
“Hey, teacher, my grandma is staying with us this week.”
“I forgot my homework.”
I call out, “Good morning, everyone. Now please stop the talk and take your seats.”
As we settle down, the door opens one more time and in walks a little girl, late again and alone. She was a plain child, rather nondescript, straight stringy hair – seldom clean. https://onetahayes.com/2017/01/29/nameless-2/
Today I ask myself, “Did nameless ever get to jump rope?” Answer: “Probably not.”

Sweet aroma 
Your post brought me straight back to all the playground fun I had at school. I doubt kids are allowed jump ropes anymore. I’ll ask the kids. (Children are no longer free. Creating obedient robots seems the purpose.)
I understand. It’s a safety issue! What if the rope hits an ankle!
🤣 Maybe worse… if a knot happened, it might remind someone of a noose and the FBI would be called.
Absolutely! LOL Susan, sometimes I think your sarcasm tops mine.
I always liked the jump rope rhymes! Glad you said the Cinderella one, because I couldn’t remember the whole thing the other day. 🙂
I noticed we both used Cinderella for an example of a jump rope rhyme. Mine was scheduled but you beat me. 😀
