- A long jump rope
HOW TO PLAY
1
Two players turn a long rope steadily while chanting a simple counting rhyme.
2
A third player times their entry to jump into the swinging rope without breaking its rhythm.
3
The jumper continues hopping in place, keeping pace with the chant.
4
On a call from the turners, the jumper must exit cleanly without touching the rope.
5
Rotate turning and jumping roles; a missed jump or a rope trip ends that player's turn.
