MATERIALS
- A long loop of elastic band, several meters around
HOW TO PLAY
1
Two players stand inside the elastic loop, stretching it taut around their ankles to form two parallel lines.
2
A third player jumps in and out of the elastic in a set sequence of steps and hops, following a pattern like stepping on both bands, then between them.
3
If the jumper completes the pattern without a mistake, the elastic is raised to knee height and the sequence repeats at the harder level.
4
A missed step, catching the elastic wrong, or losing balance ends that jumper's turn.
5
Players rotate between holding the elastic and jumping until someone clears every height level.
