Jump Rope Footloose

To play this activity, you need a deck of cards, 4 cones, a hula hoop, station cards, and music. The diagram below shows how the activity is organized.

  1. Students select a card. The suit tells the students which cone to go to and the number on the card tells the students how many of that jump rope move to perform. For example, if the card is a 4 of Hearts, then the student would run to the cone designated as hearts and perform an alternating foot four times.
  2. After they complete the first card, students would go back to the center to select another card. Make sure that the students leave the card face down in the center of the court instead of taking the card with them.
