Jump Rope

Can you be the best jumper?

Get jumping!

  • Make your loop using rope, a skipping rope or tape
  • The loop needs to go around the outside of the feet of two people (see the video for guidance)
  • Make sure there’s enough space for the ‘jumper’ for good jumps from one side of the loop to the other
  • First jump with one side of the loop between both legs
  • Then jump to the other side of the loop between both legs
  • Do this 3 times!
  • Then jump with both feet inside the loop (in!)
  • Then jump with both feet outside the loop (out!)
  • Then jump with both feet on the lines of the loop (on!)
As with any activity consider the space e.g. may need to move tables and chairs
  • Hop forward, backwards or sideways
  • Doing this activity with another person in the house
Remember!

This is a family activity so 2 people can take turns being the loop while the other is the jumper!
