PRACTICE:

1. I will divide you into teams of two and give each team a jump rope. Find a place on the field for your jump rope station. Ro Sham Bo to decide who starts first. When it is your turn with the jump rope, warm up by jumping as you normally would on two feet for a few turns. Then start to slow your pace slightly and try to complete one double jump.
2. Try to see how many double jumps you can complete between regular jumps without stopping the rope.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Jump Rope Stations III. In this game, we are practicing our jump rope techniques. Your goal is to master double jumping a jump rope.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, choose a partner and decide which jump rope station to start in– backwards, crossing, and double jumping.
• In the backwards station, spread out and practice jumping rope backwards.
• In the crossing station, spread out and practice crossing the jump rope.
• In the double jumping station, practice double jumping the jump rope. See if you can triple jump the rope.
• Switch roles after 10 tries. Keep track of how many times your partner completes the jump rope technique.
• You can move from one station to the next based on your comfort level.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students, this is not a competition – everyone should focus on their own progress.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation:
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
  • Model skills in a small group.
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
  • Use standards from previous grade levels to measure growth and progress.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Ninja Mission IV. In this game, ninjas are on a mission to save the innocent villagers being held inside the great fortress to jump rope for eternity. Your goal, is to complete the obstacle in your way so that you may bring the villagers back from double jumping a jump rope. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class evenly into ninjas and villagers. I will choose two students to hold the obstacle rope and two students to be pirates (taggers).
• Before the game begins, ninjas will line up shoulder-to-shoulder on baseline and villagers will spread out inside the great fortress with their jump rope.
• When I say, “GO!” villagers will begin double jumping as many times as they can while ninjas clear the obstacle rope. Multiple ninjas can go at one time. If a ninja touches the rope or is tagged by a pirate, he/she must start back at the baseline.
• Ninjas are safe as soon as they enter the fortress. They, then may bring one villager back to safety by walking around the obstacle.
• A villager becomes a ninja once he/she is on the baseline and may begin saving other villagers.
• We will begin a new game when either all the villagers are saved or pirates have outlasted the ninjas for longer than 3-4 minutes.

TEACHING TIPS

• Safety:
  • Remind students to be aware of their surroundings when jumping rope and/or completing the obstacle.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Double Jumpers. Your goal is to take turns with your partner and try to double jump a jump rope as many times as possible without stopping.

• Before the game begins, find a place on the field with enough distance from other students so you can jump rope freely.
• Ro Sham Bo to decide who will go first.
• When it is your turn with the jump rope, double jump as many time as possible without stopping.
• To do a double jump, jump higher and turn the rope faster so that it rotates twice.
• When you are not jumping, you are the counter.
• You will begin a new game when you have gone twice.
