jump rope rhyme

Skipping song verses

A jump rope rhyme is a chanting verse children recite while skipping rope, typically with a strong rhythm that matches the tempo of jumping.

These rhymes often involve counting, spelling, or fortune-telling elements: Cinderella dressed in yellow, went upstairs to kiss a fellow.

Many have been passed down for generations, with regional variations.

Also called a skipping rhyme.
