We have started our jump rope fun during PE class. As adults, we sometimes forget that what we used as play when we were young can be fantastic exercise now as adults. I thought I would share this link to a 10 minute Jump Rope Workout that you might like to add to your weekly routine.

During class, the kids will work on long rope skills including jumping in which helps us apply rhythmic movements to our fitness activities. I also go through the basics of jumping rope to help those who are new or still honing their skills. For the more advanced students, many tricks can be practiced to enhance their basic knowledge and honestly just look pretty cool when mastered! I do not use jump rope as an assessment, but I do feel that the exercise and skills gained in this unit are valuable to an overall healthy lifestyle.
Here are a couple quick shots of some third grade students practicing with the long rope this week.
