Jump the Rope

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

Players form a circle, a rope is then swung around the circle (no higher than knees) and then players must jump over the rope as it comes around to them. Players are out when the rope touches them.


Resources

Rope (also string or twine works well and is safer on the skin)
Some form of safe weight (Soft toy, plastic bag with sponge ball, etc.)

Instructions

Attach the weight to the end of the rope.
Sit on the floor, and practice whirling the rope around your head.
Once you've gotten into a comfortable rhythm, count to three, at which point the kids jump in.
Eventually, the weight will hit someone, at which point they're eliminated.
Continue until there is one left standing.
