Jump The Shot(Sling Shot)
_10 to 60 or more players._
_Playground; gymnasium._
For this game a shot bag, such as is used to weight the ends of
the rope that is drawn over jump standards, may be used, and
the game takes its name from this. This bag, however, being
heavy and hard, may lead to accidents by hitting the ankles of
players, and other things are more desirable unless the players
be expert. A bean bag, sand, or oat bag will do just as well,
tied to the end of a rope.
The players stand in a circle, with one in the center holding a rope
with a weight on the end. The center player swings the rope around to
describe a large circle on the floor, with a sufficient length of rope
to place the bag in line with the feet of those in the circle. The
circle players jump to avoid being caught around the ankles by the
rope. Any one caught in this way must retire from the circle, the
player winning who longest retains his place.
