I’m a huge fan of Streetplay.com. In general, it’s dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of games kids play in the street, especially in the streets of New York. Other sites may instruct you on how to play all kinds of nouvelle-jump rope. But if you’re looking the real McCoy n click here. Where else will you learn all the classic jump rope rhymes, get to know the Double Dutch Divas, and find an electronic jump rope (or “jumprope” as it’s called here) discussion group?
