Traditional Jump Rope Game Guide

Jump rope has been played in China for over 1,500 years and was traditionally called "jumping one hundred threads." The game can be played individually or with a long rope and multiple players, with two people turning the rope for one jumper to step over. Proper form and rhythm is important, and variations like different speeds or actions can make it more challenging. Playing jump rope provides physical, social, emotional and cognitive benefits like improved coordination, cooperation skills, and mind coordination.

Tutorial 1 : Traditional game

Jump Rope (Skipping games)


Jump rope has been played in China for over 1,500 years! The game was
traditionally called "jumping one hundred threads" and ropes were made out of
many different materials, including twisted grass. Chinese children jumped rope
on their own or in groups.
Rules

You can skip on your own or with a long rope to skip in a group.

If you are in a group, one person skips and two others turn the rope. Two players
stand some way apart and turn the rope (they are the enders). They need to turn
the rope so that it goes high enough to go over the jumper and so that it just hits
the ground so the jumper can step or jump over it.

The jumper then stands in the middle of the turning rope and steps or jumps over
the rope as it turns.

Once you have got a good jumping rhythm going, the jumper can try doing
different actions while they skip or the enders can vary the speed that they turn
the rope.

If the jumper fails to jump the rope they should swap places with one of the
enders or you can take turns so everyone gets a go at jumping.

There are lots of traditional chants and rhymes you can sing to accompany your
skipping, or you can make up your own. See the message board for ideas.
