HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players stand inside the elastic loop with it stretched around their ankles, facing each other a few steps apart.

2

A third player jumps a set sequence of steps in, out, and around the two strands without touching them.

3

If the jumper completes the pattern cleanly, the elastic is raised to knee height and the sequence repeats.

4

A mistake ends that player's turn, and the elastic returns to ankle height for the next jumper.

5

Continue raising the elastic to the knees, hips, and beyond as players master each level, rotating who holds the elastic.
