Many teachers may remember this activity from their own childhoods. It is usually played with a jump rope. (Two students turn the jump rope, while another performs the actions described.) In the ESL setting, you may play it with jump rope out of doors or perform the actions as a class indoors. (The jump rope variation may be too difficult for very young students.)
