JUMPING ROPE ON THE ROOF PLAYGROUND OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL
JUMPING ROPE
(Skipping)
3 to 100 players.
Playground; gymnasium.
Jumping a rope is admirable for both boys and girls, combining much skill with invigorating exercise. It should always be done on the toes, with a "spring" in the ankles and knees to break the jar, and should not be carried to a point of exhaustion. It may be made one of the most interesting competitive games for large numbers, lined up in relay formation and jumping in turn over a long rope. There should then be one rope for each line. A score should be kept for each team, each feat successfully performed by a player scoring one point for his or her team. For each round, each player in all teams should perform the same feat.
