HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players hold each end of the rope and swing it in a steady arc close to the ground.

2

A jumper times their entry to hop into the swinging rope without breaking its rhythm.

3

The jumper keeps hopping over the rope in place while the group sings a rhyme with an action or number in it.

4

On a specific word in the rhyme, the jumper must perform the named action, like a spin or clap, without missing a beat.

5

Missing a jump ends that player's turn, and either a new jumper takes over or the turners swap roles.
