Oh goodness I forgot Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear!

That site reminded me of a skipping rope chant, although their version was different
This is for three people - two turning the rope and one skipping

Had a little racing car
Number forty nine
Going round the coooooooor-ner! (person jumps out and runs around to jump back in)
And I Put On My Brakes! (on brakes you step on the rope)
Travelling the miles, counting out the smiles
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc (faster and faster until you trip)

For a double rope game
One person skipping, joined by another, who then jumps out
Names given as an example

Vote, vote, vote for dear old Sundae
Here comes Shawnee at the door (have a banana)
Shawnee is the one, who likes a bit of fun
So we don't want Sundae ant more (chuck her out!)

The above has simple words, but as it's a double rope game with multiple skippers it can get a bit hairy
You get shouted at if you break the rhythm!
