deara,
yes. and hit the penny. did you do that? jumprope and double dutch?
did you bounce a ball and turn your leg over it while you recited rhymes, like "a my name is alice and my brother's name is al, i come from arizona and we sell apples". every time you came to an 'a' word you turned your leg over the ball. then you went on to the b's and so on. if you missed, you started all over again. whoever got through the alphabet first, won.
