Soweto Skipping Chant Line

Two players turn a single long rope while the rest of the group lines up to take turns jumping in one at a time.

As each new jumper enters the swinging rope, the whole group calls out a short rhyming chant together, keeping time with the turning rope.

The jumper must keep pace with the chant, adding a simple move named in the chant's final line, such as a clap or a spin, before jumping back out.

If a jumper misses a beat or touches the rope, they swap places with one of the rope turners.

Play continues in rotation so every player gets a turn both jumping and turning.
