Content
The Chinese bouncing rope is a complex variation of the rope. You need three people to play.
Steps
1 Tie the ends of a rubber band together, 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) long, to form a circle.
2 Two people should place an elastic band around the ankles. The two holding persons stand with their feet shoulder-width apart, holding the rope taut so that it does not touch the ground. There must be enough space for a third person to fit inside.
3 The third person in the middle is the jumper and should follow this example starting with both legs inside the elastic:
- Jump out with both feet
- Jump back into the circle
- Jump so that one leg is on the elastic and the other is outside of it.
- Jump so that both feet are on the elastic.
- Jump out with both feet
4 Lift the elastic up your legs and repeat these movements.
5 When the elastic rises too high and cannot be jumped over, the jumper swaps places with one of those holding the rope.
Warnings
- Don't stumble!
- Do not jump when the elastic is too high as you will hurt yourself
