Jump Rope Four Square

(adapted from the following website http://www2.mesa.k12.co.us/physed/JRlessond.htm)

To play this activity you need a four square playing area and each student needs a jump rope. Students will be in groups of four.

  1. The player in the serving box calls the move or trick. The player in the one box says "GO" and all students begin by jumping three basic jumps.
  2. Students begin performing the trick called. The first player to miss goes to box 1 and the other students rotate clockwise. The player in the serving box calls another trick and they begin jumping again.
