Classic Backyard Summer Games

This is a great group skipping game, and we're sure that there are many more rhymes tucked in our memory banks. (Teddy Bear? Had a Little Sports Car? Zero?) Grab a long rope and get skipping. Not ends! The rope turners begin by chanting: ‘Apples, peaches, pears and plums, tell me when your birthday comes, is it January, February...'. The skipper jumps in when they hear their birthday month. The rope turners and any onlookers immediately begin counting, and the skipper has to jump out when they hear their day of birth.
