Rules
You can skip on your own or with a long rope to skip in a group.
If you are in a group, one person skips and two others turn the rope. Two players stand some way apart and turn the rope (they are the enders). They need to turn the rope so that it goes high enough to go over the jumper and so that it just hits the ground so the jumper can step or jump over it.
The jumper then stands in the middle of the turning rope and steps or jumps over the rope as it turns.
Once you have got a good jumping rhythm going, the jumper can try doing different actions while they skip or the enders can vary the speed that they turn the rope.
If the jumper fails to jump the rope they should swap places with one of the enders or you can take turns so everyone gets a go at jumping.
There are lots of traditional chants and rhymes you can sing to accompany your skipping, or you can make up your own. See the message board for ideas.
