    Share Share Post
    The game is played in the following way. A rope is got sometimes a skipping rope. Two children take a rope each. A number is said, it might be a hundred fifty or forty. The competitors start. The rule is that anyone who stops during the fame is out. Another set would take their turn when the first set finish playing.
    Sometimes they play for money. Four players get a rope each and start to play. The one who can play the longest without stopping is the winner and he gets the prize.
