Skill: Advanced
Equipment Required:
Basic Long Skipping Rope – Two per two persons
Activity Description:
- Face each other holding one handle of each rope in either hand.
- Keep elbows in at waist level, close to the body.
- Turn the lower arm in small circles, keeping the wrist firm.
- The rope should form a good arc overhead and then clip the floor.
- Turn ropes alternately towards one another with the smooth, steady, ‘one-two’ beat.
Progression
- Easy: Practice with just one of the turners turning the rope to start with.
- Hard: Turners can go down on one knee and back to standing.
- Challenge: Can you bring your arm closer to the body to make a circle smaller and speed up the rope? Can you move your arm away from the body to make circles larger and slow down the rope?
