    The elastic game is called French skipping in English. I used to do it to, and wasn’t very good either. The elastic had to go up the legs if I remember and it got very tricky once above the knee.

      We had the most difficult stage of the game when the elastic went as high as the waist. 🙂

      I think he meant to be critical of such people.

    We used to call the game “Chinese Jumprope.” I loved it!

        So, it’s either Chinese or French? This is fascinating.

        It looks similar to something called “cat’s cradle”

    We called it Chinese jump rope too! It was good fun.
    I also must (sarcastically) ask that flag-waver: Where do Indigenous Canadians who are offended by that flag get to go? 🙂
