[Exercise] Jumping is fun! Rhythm Jump Rope Roundup
Rhythm jump rope is a fun exercise where you jump rope to music.
It became widely known thanks to the comedy duo Nyanko Star gaining popularity.
There are classes for elementary school kids, and everyone can have a lively, fun time together.
Moving your body to the beat feels great, and it’s easy to do in your own backyard—that’s part of the charm!
Since you can jump to various songs, it’s also perfect for sports days and preschool events.
Jumping rope together while enjoying the rhythm helps deepen bonds with friends.
Even beginners can learn while having fun, so give it a try!
[Exercise] Jumping is fun! Rhythm Jump Rope Collection (1–10)
Racing into the NightYOASOBI
Some of you might be struggling to get a child who isn’t very enthusiastic to warm up to rhythm jump rope.
In times like that, YOASOBI’s “Yoru ni Kakeru” is a perfect fit.
It’s a hugely popular song across all ages, so it should get them excited and engaged.
The tempo is quite fast, but if you include plenty of basic skills, it should still work well for lower-grade elementary school students’ rhythm jump rope.
It’s also ideal when you want to make otherwise monotonous practice feel lively and fun.
Dinner Songtuki.
tuki.’s “Bansanka” is cool and stylish, with a powerful chorus, and it’s a great pick for enjoying rhythm jump rope! The section that goes from open–close (goo–paa) into a cross becomes especially captivating when you jump while moving your rope rhythmically.
If you’re considering switching places front-to-back, let’s make those swaps during the instrumental/bridge section.
Scissor jumps, pedals, and stomps are moves where footwork is crucial.
Adjust your skills so they flow into the next move, have fun, and nail your rhythm jump rope routine!

Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Lilac” is a perfect fit for rhythm jump rope.
During the chorus, when doing two-beat jumps, it’s easy to look down and lose your posture, so try to keep your gaze forward and jump while feeling the rhythm.
The challenge section is the main highlight of rhythm jump rope! Incorporate double unders, focus on spinning the rope quickly and jumping high, and give it your best.
If you’re up for it, adding moves like backward double unders or the Hayabusa is also recommended.
Become the windAyano Tsuji
Ayano Tsuji’s “Kaze ni Naru” features gentle ukulele tones and a soft, refreshing vocal that really enhances the charm of rhythm jump rope.
In the chorus, try incorporating two-beat jumps and running steps—moves that make it easy to match the rhythm.
In the latter half, the criss-cross gets a bit faster.
The key is to keep your arms from spreading too wide, minimize your movements, and cross while you jump.
Adjust how you swing the rope so you can land your tricks smoothly in time with the music—good luck!
chantAdo
Rhythm jump rope set to Ado’s song “Show” seems like it would be even more exciting, with the uptempo, powerful vocals boosting the energy! Before you start jumping, try some light body loosening to ease tension—this will help you enter the rhythm smoothly when you begin.
During the slower parts of the song, incorporate crisscross jumps by crossing your arms.
It’s easier if you cross the rope slightly lower, near your lower body.
For the challenge section, add your favorite signature tricks to finish in style!
Mela！
Mela! by Ryokuoushoku Shakai.
Since it was the set song for the “Let’s Become One! Dance ONE Project,” I think many of you have heard it.
Its fiery lyrics about bonds and courage naturally make you put more energy into the rhythm jumps.
There’s also a section that slows down midway, which is a good chance to catch your breath.
Plus, with various choreography videos available online, it’s perfect if you’re thinking of performing it together with a dance.
Make you happyNiziU
With “Make you happy,” NiziU quickly became a sensation in Japan.
The chorus’s “jump-rope dance” was performed by people of all ages on karaoke, TikTok, and other social media! Of course, you can jump this song with rhythm jump rope, too! The tempo is slow, and the timing for switching jump styles is steady and easy to follow, so it’s great for beginners.
The foot cross in the chorus is a bit tricky, but give it a try!
polar bearJABBERLOOP
It’s a good idea to change the music to match the age of the children doing rhythm jump rope.
For example, once they reach upper elementary grades, I don’t think they’ll prefer songs that feel too childish.
That’s why I’d like to recommend a track called “Shirokuma” by Jabberloop.
It’s known for being used by the dance group KANA-BOON! ALLSTAR at a street dance competition.
The tempo is on the slightly faster side, which makes it easy for both beginners and advanced jumpers to catch the groove.
The overall feel has a jazz-like flavor, giving it a more mature vibe.
It’s also a great pick for anyone who wants to do rhythm jump rope with a stylish atmosphere!
Let Me HearFear, and Loathing in Las Vegas
If you’re an advanced rhythm rope skipper, you probably want to showcase trick after trick to a high-energy track.
‘Let Me Hear’ is perfect for that.
It’s a song by the Japanese electronic music band Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas.
In addition to its fast tempo, the synthesizer sounds create a stylish vibe.
The track is about four minutes long, so you can unleash your skills to the fullest!
FLASHPerfume
This is a song by Perfume that was chosen as the theme for the film Chihayafuru, and its near-futuristic vibe is captivating.
The exhilarating, fast-paced feel of the track might make it fun to try running jumps or basic forward jumps to match the excitement.
Right before the chorus, there’s a calm atmosphere as if something is about to happen, so it could be interesting to dance without jumping there on purpose! Some kindergartens even use this song for rhythmic jump rope performances at sports days, so it’s highly recommended as a group showcase piece!
