JUMP-ROPE AND DOUBLE DUTCH
One
of the biggest ways I spent my recess time as a
young kid was jumping rope. I got quite good at it
for my age, both in speed and in skill. It was fun
to jump by myself, but it was even more fun to
have a long rope and jump with a couple of
friends. That’s where jump-rope rhymes come in.
They turn a simple exercise into a fun game, to
compete against yourself and others. Then
there’s double dutch. I was always in awe of the
older kids who could do double dutch. The first
time I tried it, I got tripped up almost
immediately. However, once you understand how to
do it, it isn’t as hard as it looks.
Number
of Players: One for single jumping, three with a
longer rope or for double dutch.
Equipment: One or two jump-ropes.
