What does Saltar a la goma mean? It's some sort of childhood game, but I'm not sure which. Is it like what we called "chinese jump rope" that consists of a big elastic band held between two people's legs and then a third jumps over it? Or is it something totally different?

"Saltar a la goma" significa "jump rope"

El elástico, La goma, saltar a la goma (o resorte en México) es un juego tradicional infantil que consiste en realizar una serie de saltos rítmicos sobre una goma elástica o una pantimedia vieja.

Yo siempre he oído y dicho saltar a la comba (con o), aunque saltar a la cuerda también, pero menos. Saltar a la goma me resulta muy gracioso... demasiado.
