Jump the Creek

Each boy does his best and tries to improve his
last jump. Two ropes are laid parallel and close
together. One at a time, the boys jump across
the ‘creek.’ After all, have jumped, the distance
between the ropes is increased slightly. The
boys must not step in the creek (between the
ropes) or on the water edge (the ropes) or they
are eaten by sharks and must leave the game.
