Chinese Jump Rope
First you begin with the rope around the ankles of two children.
Another child jumps in the rope with both feet. Then the child jumps out of the rope with both legs straddling each outside rope. Next, the childjumps from side to side. (Straddling each side of the rope.) Then the child jumps on the rope. Then out again. Finally, the child takes therope, crosses it using their legs, so that their legs are in side of an x. Then the child has to jump out andstraddle the rope.
With each jump if they land on the rope when they are not supposed to, then they areout. Or if they are trying to land on it and miss they are out. Once you accomplish the ankles, you move up to the waist, then below the arms,then finally the neck (I have never seen it go that far.) With each sequence you say, "in, out, side, side, on, in, out."
