French Skipping
This extra long circular skipping rope from Vilac is perfect for playground fun. To play, gather two friends and have them stand facing each other, several feet apart. Place the jump rope around each of their ankles so that one large rectangular loop is created.
Players should stand far enough apart with their feet at shoulder width so that the rope is pulled taut. Now the jumper can jump over and between the loop; the rope stays still while players jump over it. You can create different jumping routines by jumping in, out, and on the rope. Once mastered, have your friends move the rope a little higher up their legs — how high can it go before you can't jump over it?
