to me, cats cradle was with elastic, yes, but but the one you put on your hands and intertwine around your fingers to make mad shapes (if i'm explaining it ok)

but french skipping is where 2 mates stand opposite and both loop in round their ankles and person 3 is doing the jumping in and out of the elastic (or if theres just two of you out .... one in middle jumping, one with it round legs, and drag yer mums outside bin over and loop it round to be one of the people

awwww

Heard of a Flosbury Flop named after the high jumper Dick Fosbury who introduced the technique in 1968.
