Skipping rope and flag needed for game (8)
I believe the answer is:
leapfrog
'game' is the definition.
(I know that leapfrog is an children\\u0027s games)
'skipping rope and flag needed for' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'for' is 'fro' which is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leapfrog that I've seen before include "Child's game of jumping over other children" , "bound over" , "Advance by jumping over the opposition" , "Jump over" , "Overtake in position" .)
