Long Rope Jumping

I'm teaching the 3rd grade long rope jumping this week. I started most of the kids with just jumping in with the rope turning both backward and forward, then progressed to simple tricks. Got me thinking about how 5th graders might include rope jumping into their rhythmic routines.

So, check out these videos:

And, in case you think jump rope is just for kids, watch this professional boxer:
