[Exercise] Jumping is fun! Rhythm Jump Rope Roundup

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

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!

At school sports days, rhythmic jump rope is sometimes included more as a performance than as a competition.

In that case, you need to choose a song with a difficulty level that everyone can handle.

That’s why I recommend “Aiueo Ongaku.” Since this song was used as the theme for the anime LINE TOWN, many children are likely to know it.

The version included in “Just Play It! Fun Rhythmic Jump Rope” even has callouts, so everyone can synchronize their movements right away.

The routine mainly features forward swings and backward swings, so with practice, anyone should be able to master it!

A song I’d like to recommend to boost your motivation for rhythm jumping is “Yatte Minayo.” It’s a track WANIMA released in 2017 and is also well known as an au commercial song.

The lyrics encourage you to take on challenges without fear, so it naturally lifts your motivation.

Its driving sound is a perfect match for rhythm jumping, and the especially hyped-up chorus—both lyrically and sonically—is ideal for tackling more complex tricks.

Mikan from the Shimizu CWO unit

The song “Shimizu no Mikan,” an original track by JA Shimizu, was created out of a desire to let people across Japan know about Shimizu Ward in Shizuoka City’s specialty: mikan (mandarin oranges).

It’s performed by the CWO unit, made up of JA Shimizu staff, producers, and local elementary school students.

With a lively—but not too intense—rhythm paired with the theme of delicious mikan, it seems perfect for having fun with rhythmic jump rope! It’s also recommended for activities at preschools and kindergartens, as well as for sports days, so be sure to check it out.
