Sweetheart

(ed: skipping game - there must be more verses... anyone have any to send in?)

Rope is twirled slowly... girl jumps in to skip... followed by this chant

Raspberry, strawberry, apple jam tart.
Tell me the name of your sweet heart.

Then the rope is twirled faster and faster while the alphabet is chanted. If the person skipping trips, she has to name a boy beginning with the letter at which she tripped (preferably from the class she's in). This is supposed to be the person she will marry.
