Jump Rope
On the playground in front of Christie's apartment, there is a thick rope that the children use to climb up. The rope became untied at the top and was lying on the ground. It is a long, thick rope, and so I picked it up to use as a jump rope--one side was tied to the bottom of the play equipment, and so only I was needed to swing the rope. Sophia, alas, has little experience jumping rope and was pitiful at it. But at least she had some concept of the game. The other children could not figure out what we were trying to do. One girl put one foot on one side of the rope and her other foot on the other side and giggled as the rope swung between her legs. No one could figure it out. I guess they don't jump rope here?
