Game Description:
An introduction to skipping. No equipment needed, just a star on the right foot and a heart on the left foot.
Objective:
For the children to learn the skill of skipping.
Game Rules:
Skipping can be a hard skill to learn for kids as it requires coordinated movements. The YouTube video breaks the instruction down nicely into manageable steps using a star on the right foot and a heart on the left foot. Allow the children time to learn the new skill and do not rush them. Eventually they will be skipping without even thinking!
