Group Size:

Groups of 8 - 12

You’ll need another person to swing the rope with you (or maybe trade off with the

group)

Instructions:

1. Each person needs to jump one time as the rope is going, and run out the other end. Keep

going until they’re successful (or if they want to stop).

2. Each person finds another person, and as a pair, they need to jump one time and then exit.

3. Each pair needs to find another pair and jump together.

4. The entire group needs to jump one time and then exit.

If the group wants an additional challenge, they can see how many times they can jump

successfully.
