HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players hold the elastic loop taut between their ankles to start at its lowest height.

2

Remaining players take turns performing jumps or steps over and through the elastic without touching it.

3

After each successful round, raise the elastic height on the holders' bodies: ankles, knees, waist, and so on.

4

A player who touches or fails to clear the elastic is out or swaps in to hold it, depending on house rules.

5

The last player able to clear the highest height wins the round.
