Jump Rope Rhymes

Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, show your shoe,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, please skiddooo!

The jumper actually does these moves while jumping: turning around, touching the ground, showing her shoe, and jumping out on the word “skidoo.” Here is a second version: “please skidoo” is replaced by “that will do.” Then it continues.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, climb the stairs,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say your prayers

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn out the light,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say good night!

Red Hot Pepper

Red hot pepper in the pot,

Who’s got more than the leader’s got?

(jump double time) 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.

Go as high as you can without missing. Jumper with the highest score wins.
