The idea of the game is to start with one jumper going under and back again, then adding another jumper to go under and back again together. Continue adding another jumper with each pass. The game ends when a miss, or a touch of the rope has happened. The entire group goes to the end of the line, and the one left in front of the line begins the game again. One long rope and a group of children.
Jumpers form one line to enter the rope near one of the turners.
With each turn of the rope, another jumper is added. The jumpers must crowd together to make room for yet another jumper. The game is over when there is a miss. The idea is to call out the number of jumpers as each new one is added, and trying to beat that number each class time. One long rope and a group of children.
