Skipping Ropes

Skipping ropes

Offer children skipping ropes – the first stage is to have two adults hold either end and wiggle the rope on the floor.  They think of a colour, each child must jump over the wiggly rope and call out a colour – if they guess the right colour they swap with one of the adults, game repeats.  Progress to wiggling it standing up.  Further progression to swaying to understand timing.
