  2. Skipping

    Share Share Post
    Skipping is played in Spring in Lucan. It is a very enjoyable game. We play it at school and at home. We must have a long rope. Two of the children turn the rope and we run in. Sometimes we count say : Five, Ten, Fifteen, Twenty etc. to see who gets the highest number. Sometimes we use a rhyme to see who will marry. We say "a tinker, a soldier etc". then we say "Silk, satin, muslin or rags". then "a coach, carraige, wheel barrow or a donkey cart". This is followed by "a big house, a little house, a pig-sty or a barn". Lastly "how many tiers on your cake one, two, three etc".
