Jump Rope Run Equipment 1 piece of rope, thick enough to swing for a jumprope, approx. The object of the exercise is for each member of the group to run in to the rope as it is swinging, jump one time, and run out. The rope is not to stop swinging and it cannot touch the ground without one of the team members jumping it. If the rope stops swinging, or if nobody jumps the rope as it touches the ground, then the group must start over. The group forms a circle facing each other and counts off by twos.
Members grasp hands in the circle.
The group is instructed to simultaneously lean in opposite directions while supporting each other. Tell group members that they should begin by leaning gradually. They should not just let all of their weight fall at once. Members should close their eyes if they feel comfortable doing so. Start by having odd numbers lean in, and evens lean out.
