Skill: Basic

Equipment Required

Basic Long Skipping Rope – One per 6 persons

Activity Description

• This requires four skippers and two turners
• The skipper enters the rope in turn, facing the same directions.
• In unison perform the simple foot pattern
• Keep close together

Progression

Easy: Involve fewer skippers, skippers can start off in the roop instead of entering

Hard: The leader turns to face the group and skips to the end of the line, weaving in and out of the other skipper. Everyone moves up the line to fill the leader’s space. This sequence is then repeated by the new leader.

Challenge: How many skippers can you get skipping altogether in one rope?
