Does your father chew tobacco?             

Yes-No- Maybe so.

Yes-No-Maybe so…

Keep repeating the last line until you have to stop. Whichever word you land on will give you the answer!


Early in the morning at half past eight,

I heard the postman knocking at the gate,

Up jumps (insert name of skipper) to open the door

How many letters fell on the floor?

1,2,3,4,5….

Who from?

A-B-C-D-E…Two people hold the rope. After jumps, they name a friend who skips until he/she trips. They skip until they stumble on a number which tells them how many letters they received. Skip on to find out who sent the letters.


I’m a girl guide, dressed in blue,                   

Here are the actions I must do.

Salute to the Captain,

Bow to the Queen,

Turn right round

And count sixteen.

1,2,3,4,5…16

Two people swing the rope while the skipper copies the actions of the rhyme
