Chinese Jump Rope (Tiao Pijin)

Two players stand inside the loop and stretch it around their ankles to form a long rectangle.

A third player steps in and hops through a set sequence of moves without tangling the strands.

The anchors raise the rope higher after each successful round, moving from ankles to knees to waist.

Miss a step or catch the rope wrong and you swap places with one of the anchors.

Match well-known jumping sequences to counting or clapping rhymes that set the pace.
