HOW TO PLAY
1

Players form a circle around one player in the center who holds the rope.

2

The center player swings the rope in a low circle along the ground, letting the weighted end sweep under the other players' feet.

3

Each player must jump over the rope as it passes beneath them without being touched by it.

4

Any player touched by the rope or weight is eliminated and steps out of the circle.

5

The center player can gradually swing faster to make jumping more challenging.

6

The last player still jumping without being touched wins the round.
