Portuguese term or phrase: saltar de corredilhas
From the few references to this on the internet, I can't visualise what it amounts to. Here's the context.
"Os jogos de destreza e de luta, como arremessar a lança, a barra ou a espada, **saltar de corredilhas** ou correr, eram muito populares e podiam ser jogados a pé ou a cavalo e praticados por quase todos."

Any ideas gratefully received.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The way I read the context, Sue, is that this isn't a children's game but a game or sport for adults. No nearer to puzzling out what it is though.
