    Could skipping make a comeback in school playgrounds?

    There's a bid to bring back the traditional playground game of skipping in Devon.


    The South West Youth Games Trust is inviting schools to organise a day of skipping between the 22nd and 26th of this month.

    As well as doing simple rope-jumping activities, pupils will be encouraged to research the old-fashioned skipping songs and routines, and make up their own.

    They can share their photos on social media using the hashtag #skipathon.
