Coffee and Tea
"I like coffee, I like tea, I like (name of next person in line) tocome in with me." Then the two jump together, the second person sayingthe rhyme. When the rhyme is done, the first person runs out, and the newperson comes in and jumps with the second person.Contributed by Cheryl Anderson

One person would be jumping and say this:
I like coffee, I like tea,
I like (person's name) to jump with me.
(That person joined the first person so that two were jumping. Then,
the following was said:)
One, two, three, change places, seven, eight, nine, change places,etc.
(until the pair missed. The two would change from right to lefteach
time they said "change places" and all would keep track of who gotthe
highest number before missing.)

Since we didn't jump with more than one person at once we sang it
differently.
I like coffee
I like tea
I like the boys
And the boys like me
Yes
No
Maybe so
Yes
No
Maybe so . . .
whatever a person messed up on was their fortune.
also until the yes no maybe so starts up the rope is swung low-backand
forth across the floor instead of in a loop.
