Game Description:
A warm up or cool down game that focuses on a vetrical jump. All you need is a rope.
Objective:
To jump up as high as you can and grab the rope.
Game Rules:
Have two leaders hold up a rope just high enough that it is difficult for a child to jump up and reach it. Have the children line up single file. The first child will go under the rope and jump as high as he or she can while attempting to grab the rope. This child will then go to the back of the line and wait for their turn again.
Adaptations (optional):
Hold the rope higher or lower for shorter and taller children, but be sure to make this a challenge for each child.
Progression (optional):
Move the rope (side to side or up and down) while they are airborne to make this a more dynamic exercise. This will really help them to improve their tracking skills.
