Girl's generally rocked at French Elastic

I was one of the only boys that used to play this with the girls at primary school, does that make me a gayer?

Upping the stakes at normal skipping too was ace... fast as poss, double ropes, turning them alternate ways, nipping in and out of the ropes, a few of you in synchronisation etc..etc... :thumbsup:

to me, cats cradle was with elastic, yes, but but the one you put on your hands and intertwine around your fingers to make mad shapes (if i'm explaining it ok) :S

but french skipping is where 2 mates stand opposite and both loop in round their ankles and person 3 is doing the jumping in and out of the elastic (or if theres just two of you out .... one in middle jumping, one with it round legs, and drag yer mums outside bin over and loop it round to be one of the people :rofl:

awwww :D
