Jump rope game

Skipping is a great group activity that is great for children. It is lots of fun and helps children learn coordination and timing of jumping.

What you need:

• Long skipping rope

Number of players:
3+

Activity:

Two kids hold the rope at either end.

They start by swinging it from side to side slowly.

The skipper moves into the centre of the rope and jumps over the rope as it sweeps past the ground.

As the skipper becomes confident at jumping, the rope can be swung a little faster.
