Chinese Jump Rope!

Every year in Summer camp, Mr. Streeter and Ms. McAvoy teach campers how to play Chinese jump rope in P.E. and we have a tournament at the end of the Summer. The Chinese jump roping game dates back to 7th-century China. It is a fun and challenging game that uses a large elastic band. Two children wear the band around their ankles while a third child jumps over and on it. Our campers learn how to play "American", "Chinese" and "Diamond" using the Chinese jump rope. Here are some videos of the kids practicing their jump roping skills!
