"Fudge, fudge, tell the judge!"
Elizabeth Bradley is 29 years old and tells us about a game played when aged 9. My school break times: What do you (or did you) like to do the most during school break times? I liked to play balls, Chinese ropes, hopscotch, chases and bulldog. My favourite school playground game: My favourite playground game was Chinese ropes.

How to play: You need a rope and three or more players. Two people each hold an end of the rope. They wind the rope in a circle formation. The third person jumps in the middle of the rope as it goes round. The aim of the game is to stay in the rope without getting tangled in it.

What you need: A rope three or more people. Special game location, surface or design: A smooth surface like concrete is best. Special rhymes, songs or language used: There are some skipping songs like;
The big ship sails on the alley alley oh!
The alley, alley Oh!
The alley, alley Oh!
The big ship sails on the alley, alley oh!
On the last day of September!

Fudge, fudge, tell the judge
Someone s having a baby.
Someone s going crazy!
5... 10... 15... 20 etc.

The wind, the wind blows high
Out pops... whoever from the sky,
She are handsome, she are pretty
She is the one from the Golden City.
Tell, tell your lover s name... 
True, false, true, false... etc.
