There are jump rope fashions (cushy socks a must), basic jumps and fancy steps (including Scissors, Jumping Jacks, and Cancan), jump rope jargon, how to decorate your rope, and the games--Spoons, Siamese Twins, The Clock, Chase the Fox, Over the Rainbow, Double Dutch, and dozens more. THE JUMP ROPE is 100% cotton, seven feet long, and comes with wooden handles. 50,000 copies in print.
