Rookie Jump Rope! Beginning drills and skills for your YOUNGEST JUMPERS!

Help your youngest students gain confidence with a jump rope by creating letters, shapes, and numbers, while practicing a variety of jumps. I strategically added some additional locomotor movements such as marching, because my students were tired!
After shapes and such, have students place rope on the ground to perform a variety of jumps over the rope. Last, we practice beginning jump rope. These are the steps/ progressions I use in my class, but there are many other great ideas. You can also split this video and use the first half one day, and the second half the second day! I hope this helps enhance your jump rope unit for our youngest jumpers!
