Rope Jump
Number of Players:
1+
What You Need:
Jump rope; mitten or sock
Activity:
Tie the mitten or sock to the end of a jump rope. Have the children stand around you in a circle (or if there is only 1 child they can just stand in front of you) a little less than the length of the rope away. Swing the rope low and slow and encourage the children to jump as it comes past. For younger children, you might need to go very slow on the ground as their coordination will not allow much more than this. For older children, you can swing the rope faster and higher and higher with each turn. They will love showing you their capabilities!
