Learning how to skip

This week we have been learning how to skip! In order to master jumping and landing over the rope with two feet, we began by jumping over skipping ropes that were placed on the floor. We also took turns holding and jumping over the skipping ropes in groups.

Next we learned how to hold a skipping rope properly and the basic motion of bringing the rope over our heads. We practiced stepping and jumping over the ropes.
