Singing Zone Can't Sing? You Don't have to be able to! I can't sing, it is a fact so this page only has ideas on that I can do. It will be updated like all the other zones on this website, so plase come back for more ideas. This term I have focoused on skipping songs. Why not keep fit whilst singing!
	Get Started! There are three main ways you can take part in skipping. There is what I would call short rope, where you twined the rope and jump over it. For this you need a rope that roughly reaches up to your armpits when you are holding it. This page contains songs and rhymes that I would describe for long rope skipping. You need two people to twined the rope and others to jump. The rope length can vary the more people you want skipping at the same time the longer the rope needs to be. I used to use an old washing line but most of them are plastic now and that hurts your legs if you miss. Double Dutch is the third type where you have two ropes in different directions and the skipper jumps in the middle.
Run Around Most of the rhymes involve jumping in and out of a long rope. This warm up game called run around will help skippers practice this skill. All the skippers line up and the rope starts to go around. The first skipper runs in and jumps over the rope and out and then around the end to re-join the back of the line. The aim is that the skippers keep coming each time the rope comes around another one jumps in and out. If one misses the rope they are out and the rope restarts for the next skipper. You have to run really fast at the end!
	Teddy Bear, Teady Bear Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around, Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground, Teddy Bear, Teaddy Bear, show your shoe, Teddy Bear, Teady Bear, that will do! Teddy Bear, Teady Bear, go upstairs Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say your prayers Teddy Bear Teddy Bear, turn off the lights Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say goodnight! The skipper jumps the rope sining this rhymn and doing the actions at the same time.
Little Bumper Car Had a little bumper car, number 49, went around the corner .... (Skipper jumps out and runs around the twinder and rund back in the rope, everyone else keeps holding on the corner until they jump back in) and slams on the brakes. Policeman came and put me in jail. How many days did he put me in jail? (Count until the skipper messes up)
	I like coffee I like coffee, I like tea, I like (person's name) to jump with me. (That person joins the first person so that two are now jumping) One, two, three, change places, seven, eight, nine, change places, etc. (On change places the skippers swop left to right, keep going until they mess up).
Birthdays All together girls, never mind the weather girls, when I call your birthday, please jump in! January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, Decemember. (When the month your birthday is in is called out you run in take one skip and out the other side. To make it harder the caller can mix up the months),
	Sausages Sausages in a pan Sausages in a pan Turn 'em 'over, turn 'em 'over (the skipper has to turn and face the other direction and back again) Sausages in a pan
Girl Guide OK so we know it is out dated but our girls' still love it. I'm a little girl guide dressed in blue, These are the things that I must do, Salute to the Captain Bow to the queen And show my knickers to the football team! The skipper does the actions as she says them.
	Micky Mouse Micky Mouse Built a house How many bricks Did he use? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc
Little Puppy I had a little puppy, his name was Tiny Tim, I put him in the bathtub, to see if he could swim, He drank all the water, he ate a bar of soap, The next thing you know he had a bubble in his throat. In came the doctor (person jumps in) In came the nurse (persona jumps in) In came the lady with the alligator purse (person jumps in) Out went the doctor (person jumps out) Out went the nurse (person jumps out) Out went the lady with the alligator purse (person jumps out)
